To assemble, spread a small amount of jam in the center of the cookie and lay the cookie that has the center cutout on top of the jam. When all the cookies have been assembled, place all of them in three rows on wax paper and drizzle melted white chocolate over the cookies. Immediately sprinkle the coarse sugar; let set until the chocolate has hardened.
