Roll out dough on lightly floured board. Using a wine glass or juice glass, cut dough into circles. use a thimble to cut a hole in half of your cookies. These will become the top of the cookie.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 8-10 minutes (depending on the size of your circle). Cool & then fill with red currant jelly or strawberry jelly as if you are are making a sandwich. Makes 2 dozen.
