Jam Sandwich Cookies

I rarely made other kinds of cookies for months.

After I bought the dough sheeter, the only cookie that I had to make was "Butterfly" a puff pastry cookie that's rich with butter and sugar it's my family's favorite and I didn't make it for a long time, ^^". 

But for this week, I wanted to make something else, 

I have many cute pattern cookie cutters that I want to play with, I want to find a good recipe to keep in my blog. The cookie that I want is the one that is easy to make, not too hard but the pattern on the cookie has to be clear. This recipe can be the answer. 

Using the cutting method (mix the flour mixture with butter before adding the liquid), is the way that we can prevent the gluten from forming, the cookie will spread less than the creaming method so the shape and pattern will be clear and sharp. Using only the egg yolk (egg yolk contains fat not water) the cookie texture will be crumby than using whole egg or egg white,

You can use this recipe for making cute pattern cookies (with your cookie cutters, hehe), too, for simple pattern cookies I suggest rolling the dough into 5 mm. thickness instead of 3 mm. It will be easier to cut too.
