How to make filled star cookies:

Cream shortening, sugar and vanilla extract. Beat in egg yolks and orange juice. Combine flour and salt; mix in 2 cups at a time until dough is soft. Add flour if needed. Wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate overnight. Roll out chilled dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Use a star cutter to cut out shapes. Use thimble to cut out 5/8-inch centers (these are the top cookies). Gather dough scraps and roll out to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out stars and put onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool and fill with jam. Sift confectioners sugar on top.
