Preparing the Dough
1. Mixing Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. Creaming Butter and Eggs
In another bowl, beat the unsalted butter until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract. Beat until fluffy.
3. Combining Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preparing the Filling
4. Making Fruit Filling
In a small saucepan, combine the fruit preserves, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
Shaping and Baking
5. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Rolling Out Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut into various shapes.
7. Filling Shapes
Place half of the shapes on the baking sheet. Add a small spoonful of the fruit filling to the center of each shape. Top with remaining shapes and seal edges with a fork.
8. Baking the Shapes
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool.
Preparing the Topping
9. Making the Icing
In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth. If desired, add food coloring to achieve your preferred color.
10. Decorating the Shapes
Once the shapes are cool, drizzle the icing over the tops or dip them in the icing for a more substantial coating.
