Empire Biscuits
2 cups sifted flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup butter
seedless raspberry jam
confectioners sugar
milk
candied cherry
Mix flour with sugar and cut in butter
Knead lightly, roll into a ball, cover in plastic wrap and put in refrigerator
Chill for 2 hours {or overnight}
Take out 1 hour prior to baking
Roll out on a floured surface to about 1/8-1/4"
Cut into rounds the size of your choice
Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned {350 degrees}
When cookies are cooled, spread seedless raspberry jam and 1 cookie and top with the another
Mix about a cup of confectioners sugar with enough milk to make a spreadable glaze {a couple of tablespoons} don't let the glaze get too thin, you can adjust your milk or sugar
Put glaze over the top of the sandwiched cookie, don't worry if this runs down the side it does not have to be perfect
Before your glaze dried out a 1/2 of a candied cherry on top
These can be kept in a tin for up to a week, they taste the best the next day as it gives the glaze time to soak into the cookies. ENJOY!

I'm not sure what went wrong. I followed the recipe exactly as it read. The cookies were completely flat, and looked almost like lace. :( Is there a misprint? The cookies in the picture look delicious! I would like to make them right.
Your style is very unique in comparison to other folks I ave read stuff from.
