Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup white sugar

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup raspberry jam
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions
Step 1
Cream butter. Add sugar, creaming well. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 2 inch rounds, and place on ungreased baking sheets.
