How to make Cookies with Jam-Filled Center
- Step 1
Sift the flour twice into a bowl, then add the powdered sugar and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the butter at room temperature.
- Step 2
Mix the ingredients until a smooth dough ball forms. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Step 3
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out with a rolling pin until it is approximately half a centimeter thick.
- Step 4
Use a round cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. For half of the cookies, use a smaller cookie cutter to remove a circle from the center.
- Step 5
Place the cookies on a greased and floured baking sheet.
- Step 6
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 7 minutes or until they are cooked and lightly golden.
- Step 7
Remove the cookies from the oven, let them cool, and carefully unmold them. Assemble the cookies by placing a bit of peach jam on the base of one cookie and covering it with the cookie that has the circle in the center.
