Ingredients
Method
In bowl, beat butter with brown sugar until fluffy; beat in egg and vanilla. In separate bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon and salt ; stir into butter mixture in 2 additions, blending with hands if necessary to bring dough together.Divide dough in half and flatten into discs; wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
Between waxed paper, roll out each disc to 1/8-inch (3 mm) thickness. Using floured 1-1/2 inch (4.5 cm) fluted round cutter, cut out shapes. Using 1/2-inch (1 cm) piping tip or mini-cutter, cut out centres of half of the cookies.
Arrange rounds and rings, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart, on parchment paper–lined baking sheets. Freeze or refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes in freezer, 30 minutes in refrigerator.
Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven until edges are golden, about 12 minutes. Transfer to racks; let cool.
Using fine sieve, sprinkle rings with icing sugar. Spread about 1/2 tsp (2 mL) jam over each of the remaining cookies; top each with ring.
