Chef's Notes
Pay close attention to the temperature of your butter; if it melts into the flour too early, your cookies will spread into sad, flat puddles.
Pro Tip
Keep your second disc of dough in the fridge while you work on the first so the butter stays rock solid.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to pinch the three corners tightly enough, resulting in the jam boiling over, bubbling out, and turning into a scorched, sticky crime scene on your baking sheet.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
If these cookies are meant to be 'Haman's Ears', I must say he had a very jammy, delicious way of hearing things.
The Culinary Science
Chilling the dough allows the gluten strands to relax and solidifies the butter fats, preventing your cookies from dissolving into mush in the oven.

Pastry & Confectionery Stabilization
Storage Science
Cakes and soft desserts should be wrapped tightly to prevent moisture loss and stored at room temperature (if no perishable fillings) or refrigerated. Consume within 3 days.
Reheating Science
Serve at room temperature for optimal flavor perception, as cold mutes sweetness. If it's a baked pastry, flash-heat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 3-5 minutes to restore the butter matrix and crispness.
