Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle. , Shape dough into 1-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, make a 1/2-in.-deep indentation in the center of each ball; fill with about 1/4 teaspoon jam. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• Using an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or an electric hand mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg yolk, salt, vanilla seeds and orange blossom water, if using. Beat in flour until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
• Scrape the dough onto a 12-inch-long piece of plastic wrap and form it into a log, 1 1/2 inches in diameter. It will be very sticky, so use the plastic wrap to help form the log (or make two shorter logs if that's easier). Then wrap it up and chill until it's thoroughly cold, at least 3 hours (and up to 5 days).
• When ready to bake, heat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick liners.
• Unwrap the dough log and slice it into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheets and bake until the cookies are golden at the edges, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies can be bake up to 4 days ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
• When ready to serve, sprinkle strawberries with a little sugar and let them sit for 15 minutes to release their juices.
• Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk, or a whisk and elbow grease, whip the cream, adding a teaspoon or two of sugar, if you like. Note that the cookies are very sweet so you may not want to add any sugar at all.
• Spoon the strawberries into serving bowls and top with whipped cream. Drizzle cream with juices from the strawberry bowl. Tuck a cookie or two in each bowl and serve with spoons.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Heat oven to 350 degrees with a rack in the middle position. Place cookies, sugar and salt in a food processor and process until finely ground. (You should have about 1 1/2 cups). Add butter and pulse until the mixture looks like wet sand.
• Transfer mixture to a standard 9-inch pie plate. Using the bottom of a flat-bottomed measuring cup, press the mixture up the sides and into the bottom of the pie plate. Bake on the middle rack until dry and set, 20 to 25 minutes. (If the crust slumps or puffs while it bakes, gently press it back into place while still warm with the measuring cup and proceed.) Let cool completely.
• Make the filling: Place 3 tablespoons cold water in a small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over top and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream and vanilla until smooth. Combine cream, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk in gelatin mixture until completely dissolved, then whisk cream mixture into sour cream. Pour filling into cooled crust and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days. (If making ahead, wrap tightly once set).
• Toss strawberries with sugar, if needed, and let sit for 10 minutes. Pile strawberries and any accumulated juices on top of pie just before serving.
