IDM Südtirol/Marion Lafogler

Ingredients for approx. 70 cookies

  • 250 g soft butter
  • 130 g icing sugar
  • 1 packet vanilla sugar
  • A little grated lemon peel
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp rum
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 400 g flour
  • ½ packet baking powder
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 200 g apricot or raspberry jam for the filling
  • Icing sugar to sprinkle on top

 

Preparation:

For the dough, first mix the soft butter with the icing sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla sugar, lemon zest, salt and rum, then stir in the egg yolks. Sieve the flour and mix with the baking powder, add and knead everything with the milk to a smooth dough.

Cover the dough and leave it to rest in the fridge for about 1 hour. Then roll out evenly to about 5 mm thick. Cut out round biscuits from one half of the dough and rings from the other half. Place on a baking tray with baking paper and bake in the preheated oven with top/bottom heat at 180 °C (fan oven 160 °C) for about 7 minutes.

Leave to cool, then spread some jam on the round biscuits and place a ring on the top of each. Finally, sprinkle with icing sugar.
