JAM FILLED STAR COOKIES

A Delicious , crunchy butter cookies filled with tangy jam. These cookies are simply irresistible and best to gift someone or to give a beautiful smile on your kids face and at the same time its super easy to make 🙂 🙂

I found these cookies the most easiest and yummiest. I made this in cooker. In this recipe i used Mixed Fruit Jam, you can use the flavour , you love the most. We have to bake this cookies till edges get golden brown colour, mostly it will take around 14-15 min.

INGREDIENTS:

1.5 cup Maida
1/2 cup Butter ( I used Amul Butter )
3/4 cup Powdered Sugar
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
2/3 cup milk
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
5-6 tsp JAM
2-3 tsp Powdered Sugar (to decorate)

METHOD:

First beat butter and sugar Till it get nice smooth texture. Add Vanilla essence, mix well. Now add Maida and baking powder , mix well. By adding milk little by little knead a dough. Dont add milk at a time.

Allow it to rest for 5-7 mins. Now on a dusted surface roll a thin roti.

Give shape as per your likes with help of cookie cutter. I choose star shape, one can also take round or heart or triangle shape.

Be very careful while detaching . As we roll it thin, there are chances of break also. Now take of center part of half of the cookies. I used small medicine cap to give shape.

Re-roll the scraps of dough to make more cookies.

I bake in cooker for 15-16 mins. Keep eye after 10 mins.For cooker baking, place a stand in cooker. Keep a perforated Plate on it. Now grease a place or cake tin and arrange cookies in it . Close the lid without whistle.

If using microwave, bake on 180C for 10-12 mins or till edges get golden brown colour.

Allow it to cool completely. Till time beat the jam in a small bowl with back side of spoon. Preferable jam should be on room temperature.

You can notice, jam becomes smooth . Apply 1/2 tsp jam on each cookie (Without hole). Sprinkle Powdered sugar on cookies with hole.

Now Assemble both cookies. Keep a bit of jam again in center. Now again bake for 2-3 mins in cooker. Make sure cookies should not burnt. If using microwave, bake for 1 min.
