Preparation

• In medium bowl, combine flour and salt.Using a pastry cutter, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Add sour cream, first stirring and then kneading with your hands.
• Dough will be slightly sticky. Shape dough into a ball, cover and refrigerate 1 hour. Remove dough from refrigerator and let sit for 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Divide dough into 2 equal parts. Roll out on lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness, adding more flour, if needed if dough becomes too sticky.
• Cut out with 2-3 inch round cookie cutter. Place about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon, depending on the size of your circles, of raspberry jam on center of circle.
  
• Fold in half and gently pat edges together to form a seam. If a little filling oozes out during baking, that's alright, you'll be able to tell what filling is inside.
• Bake in preheated oven 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Pipe icing over cooled cookies decoratively using a pastry bag or a zip-lock bag with a corner snipped off.
• In bowl, combine all ingredients, stirring until smooth.
