GINGER JAM SANDWICH COOKIES

1 (17.5 oz.) sugar cookie mix
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted
1 egg
1/2 cup strawberry jam

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In medium bowl, combine cookie mix with ginger, cinnamon and cloves. Stir well to blend. Add butter and egg, and mix thoroughly.

Take small pieces of dough and roll into balls about 3/4 to 1-inch diameter. Place 2 to 3-inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to cooling rack.

When completely cool, place 1/2 teaspoonful of jam in center of flat side of one cookie and top with flat side of another cookie, pressing lightly to distribute jam to edges.
