• Cooking Time: 10
• 12 oz unsalted butter, softened
• 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup cornstarch
• 2 cups ground walnuts
• 1/2 cup strawberry jam

Cream the butter with the sugar until light. Add in the egg and mix well.

Mix together the flour and cornstarch. Add this to the creamed mixture and blend. Mix in the nuts thoroughly.

Form the dough into a bowl and wrap in plastic. Chill for about 4 hours.

Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickeness.

Cut with a cookie cutter(I chose round but hearts are nice too).

Keep half the batch whole and the other half take a smaller cutter and cut out the middle of the cookie.

You want to create a window effect(see photo)

Chill the cookies for 10 minutes and preheat oven to 325F.

Bake cookies for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned.

Cool on a rack.

Spread jam on half of the cookies(the ones that aren't cut out).

Place the other half on top of the ones spread with jam.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate if you would like.
