Jam Tea Cookies

So I don't have to make them up again next time...

3/4 c. butter (1.5 sticks)
1/2 c. brown sugar, packed
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 egg
1.5 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 tsp. baking soda
dash salt
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. cardamom, rounded
jam or jelly of your choice

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy and light yellow. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and stir until homogeneous. Roll dough into tiny balls - perhaps 3/4 of an inch in diameter - and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes in a 350 degree oven, or until golden. Let cool and "glue" two cookies together with jam. Apricot and raspberry go well with the cardamom, but fig would probably be excellent too. Ooh, now there's an idea...
