Butter Cookies

This was my grandmother's recipe and I would get so excited around the holidays to make these cookies that are oh, so easy to pop in your mouth!  I use raspberry jam to fill the center.
Plan Ahead Note: the butter needs to be softened to room temperature and the dough needs to chill for one hour.
