Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy, then mix in molasses, egg, and vanilla.

Whisk together flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl.

Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mix until a soft dough forms.

Divide the dough in half, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll dough to ¼-inch thickness and cut into rounds.

Bake for 8–10 minutes—keep them soft, don’t overbake!

Once cooled, spread jam on one cookie and sandwich with another.

Pro Tip: They taste even better the next day as the jam softens the cookies!
