Cream together softened butter or margarine, sugar and salt.
Beat in egg yolk and vanilla until smooth.
Add in flour mixture. Mix until a soft dough begins to form.
Pat into a round disc about 1" (2.54cm) thick. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill until firm, about 2 hours or overnight.
Bring dough to slightly below room temperature. Roll dough out 1/8" (3mm) thick. Using a 3" (8cm) round cookie cutter, cut out dough. For half the rounds, use at least a 1" (2.54cm) cookie cutter to cut out the center.
Place cookies on an ungreased baking sheet about 1/2" (1.27cm) apart. Next, chill 15 minutes or until firm.
Bake 12 - 16 minutes or until edges are lightly golden brown. Let sit in pan for 2 minutes and then carefully remove to wire rack to finish cooling. Cool completely before filling.
Stir up jam with a spoon to make it more fluid. Carefully spread on one of the solid rounds, stopping 1/4" (6mm) from the edges. Carefully place the round with the center cut out on top.

The total calories will vary depending on the size of the cutout shape.
