Preparation method
Step 1
Sift the flour through a strainer into a medium bowl, grate the butter on coarse meshes or cut into small pieces, add to the flour. Add the rest of the dough ingredients and combine. Knead until it gets a form of a homogeneous structure. The dough should not be kneaded for a long time. Shape the dough into a ball. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2
After this time, remove the dough from the refrigerator, sprinkle the countertop with flour and roll out the dough to a thickness of approx. 3 mm (0,12 inches).
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).
Step 4
Cut circles into the dough using a glass or a cookie cutter. Place approx. 1/2 teaspoon of jam on each circle.
Step 5
Fold the edges to overlap, forming a triangle with the filling visible.
Step 6
Place cookies on baking paper, put in a preheated oven. Bake for approx. 25 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
Bon appetit!
