You have but to ask. Here's one I like. If you'd like more, let me know.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Shortbread Jammers
 Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Fruits
      Yield: 16 servings
 
    1/2 lb Unsalted butter; room temp
    3/4 c  Granulated sugar
      1 ts Fine sea salt
      1 ts Vanilla extract
      2 c  A-P flour
    1/3 c  Rice flour (A-P flour may be
           - substituted)
      1 c  Thick fruit jam, preserves
           - or marmalade
 
  Set oven @ 325ºF/165ºC.
  
  Lightly butter a 8" X 8" baking dish. In the bowl of a
  standing mixer (or in a large bowl if using a hand
  mixer), beat the butter and sugar at medium speed for
  about 3 minutes. Add the salt and vanilla and continue
  to beat until well combined. Add the flours and continue
  to beat until the dough comes together.
  
  Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing
  the surface. Prick it with a fork in about 20 places.
  Bake for 35 minutes, or until golden around the edges.
  Slide a dull knife along the edges. Cool for 5 minutes.
  
  Carefully turn the slab of shortbread out onto a clean
  surface. With a knife, trim 1 inch from one of the
  sides. Crumble the trimmings into a bowl and cover with
  plastic wrap. Cut the rest of the shortbread into 16
  squares and allow to cool.
  
  Spread a thick layer of jam on each square, and then
  sprinkle with the crumbs. Layered between plastic wrap
  or wax paper in an airtight container, the cookies will
  keep for 3 to 4 days.
