Serves: About 6 Dozen
 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup honey
  • ½ cup shortening
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ cup rainbow sprinkles
  • Jam filling (I used Baker's Choice Strawberry)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the honey and shortening until smooth.
  3. Add in the eggs, one at a time.
  4. Then with the mixer on low speed, add in the dry ingredients and mix until the dough comes together. Do not mix too much or the cookies will be tough.
  5. Carefully mix in the sprinkles.
  6. Wrap the dough and chill for at least an hour.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll the dough out thin.
  8. Using a round drinking glass, or round cookie cutter (2½ to 3 inches in diameter), cut out the cookies.
  9. Using a spoon or pastry bag fitted with a plain tip, fill the cookies with the jam filling.
  10. Pinch 3 corners together and bake for 8-10 minutes until light brown.
  11. Allow to cool-the filling will be extremely hot! Enjoy!
