Steps:
- Make cookies:
- Sift together flour, confectioners sugar, vanilla powder, and salt.
- Heat butter with an electric mixer until creamy. Mix in flour mixture at low speed just until blended. Form dough into a disk and chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 300°F.
- Roll out dough slightly less than 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface and cut out 1 1/2-inch rounds.
- Arrange 1 inch apart on greased baking sheets. Reroll scraps once (cookies become tough if dough is worked too much). Whisk together powdered egg whites and water. Brush cookies with egg whites and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
- Bake cookies in batches in middle of oven until pale golden, 10 to 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool.
- Fill cookies:
- Sandwich jam and preserves between unsugared sides of cookies, filling half with raspberry and half with apricot.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies.
- Be sure to chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Don't overbake the cookies. They should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from melting and making the cookies soggy.
- If you don't have time to chill the dough, you can bake the cookies immediately. Just be sure to watch them closely so that they don't overbake.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cookies for up to 2 months.
