Spitzbuben Christmas Cookies

  • Ingredients
    2 eggs (yolks)
    125 g flour
    100 g butter (room temperature)
    50 g sugar
    1 tsp. lemon zest (organic lemon)
    Strawberry jam
    powdered sugar

  • Preparation
    Separate the eggs. Put flour, butter, egg yolks, sugar and lemon zest in a bowl and mix to form a smooth dough. Place the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.
    Preheat the oven to 180° C top/bottom heat.
    Line a baking tray with parchment. Dust your work surface with a little flour. Roll out the dough and cut out the pieces.
    Make small holes in half of the cookies with a small round cookie cutter.
    Place the cookies on the baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes (depending on the size of the cookie cutter).
    Leave to cool down.
    Spread some jam on the cookies without the holes. Then place a cookie with a hole on top and press down lightly.
    Put the cookies on a plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
