Add the softened butter, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, and mix until a dough forms.
Divide the dough in half and roll each half out to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Use a star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out an even number of cookies. Place half of the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and use a smaller star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the centers of each cookie.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown around the edges. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once the cookies have cooled, spread a thin layer of raspberry jam on the bottom side of each solid cookie. Place a cut-out cookie on top of the jam and gently press down to create a sandwich. Dust the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
These Linzer Star Jam Sandwiches are a perfect combination of sweet and buttery flavors, with a hint of tartness from the raspberry jam. They are a great addition to any holiday dessert table or as a sweet treat for any occasion.
