- 1/4 cup confectioners sugar, plus more for dusting
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- Finely grated zest of 2 lemons
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Place cold dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll out to 1/8 inch thick.

- Using a fluted 1 1/8-inch round cutter, cut out dough; transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Reroll scraps, and cut out (you should have 40 rounds).
- Bake until pale golden, 10 to 11 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through.
- Let cool slightly on sheets on wire racks.
- Transfer cookies to racks to cool completely.
- Using a rubber spatula, press the jam through a fine sieve into a small bowl.
- Stir in remaining tablespoon lemon juice.
- Spread 1 teaspoon jam mixture on flat side of half of the cookies, and sandwich with the remaining cookies.
