Ingredients
- 500 g flour
- 250 g butter
- 250 g sugar
- 1 sachet vanilla sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ sachet baking powder
- Jam (blackcurrant jam)
- Icing sugar
Preparation
Mix the butter and sugar. Stir in the eggs. Knead in the flour mixed with the baking powder. Chill the dough for 30 minutes. Roll out on a well-floured surface and cut out shapes. Make the same number of shapes.
Using a thimble, cut a hole in half of the cut-out cookies, as they will be filled with jam. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 200°C (top and bottom heat) or 180°C (fan oven) for about 10 minutes. The cookies should still be light brown.
After cooling, spread a tangy jam (e.g., currant) on the half without the hole and place the other half with the hole on top. Finally, dust with powdered sugar.
The cookies store well in a tin or Tupperware container and taste especially good after letting them sit for a few days.
