  2. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  3. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 3 mm thickness.
  4. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters, alternating shapes so that every other one has a hole punched in the center with another cutter, like a circle or heart.
  5. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake at 180°C for about 8-10 minutes.
  7. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a plate.

  9. Dust cookies with a hole with powdered sugar, and spread raspberry jam on the whole ones before sandwiching them together.
