Strawberry Tea Cookies Recipe

Let cookie dough stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften. In a small bowl, combine dough and almonds. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. round cookie cutter. Cut out the centers of half of the cookies with a 1-in. round cookie cutter (discard centers). Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 ° for 6-8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Spread each whole cookie with 1 teaspoon of jam; top with remaining cookies. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
