Method
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, using a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream the butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest to the butter mixture and beat until incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding with a spatula until a soft dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into rounds using a cookie cutter.
- Place a small dollop of jam in the center of each round. Fold two sides of the dough toward the center and pinch firmly to seal the jam inside.
- Place the pinched cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely on a wire rack and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes
These cookies are forgiving and great for kids to help with poisoning. For best results, use a high-quality butter and don't overfill with jam to prevent leaking. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
