Cream margarine and both sugars in large bowl. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add corn syrup and vanilla. Beat until smooth.

Combine flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Add to margarine mixture in 3 additions, mixing well after each addition until no dry flour remains. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch (3 mm) thickness. Cut out circles with lightly floured 2 1/2 inch (6.4 cm) round cookie cutter with fluted edge. Roll out scraps to cut more circles. Arrange about 2 inches (5 cm) apart on greased cookie sheets.

Cut out centres of 1/2 of circles with lightly floured 1 inch (2.5 cm) cookie cutter. Bake in 350°F (175°C) oven for 8 to 10 minutes until golden. Let stand on cookie sheets for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

Spread about 1/2 tsp. (2 mL) jam on bottom of each whole cookie. Place cookies with cut-out centres on top of jam. Dust with icing sugar. Makes about 1 1/2 dozen (18) jam jams.

Tip: To avoid over-handling, roll out cookie dough between 2 sheets of waxed or parchment paper. Over-handled dough will become tough and dry.
