Spoon 1/4 teaspoon jam into center of each circle.

Remove to wire rack to cool.

Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

Recipe Makes 2 dozen Note: My Mother-in-law often tried to flip the open ends up a bit. I sometimes roll pieces of dough into a ball and press the bottom of a small juice glass into the centre. Then I fill the indentation with jam or preserves and it doesn't spill out.
