delicious with a fruity layer in the middle

Make a nice, smooth dough from the ingredients (except the jelly) and the seeds from the scraped vanilla pod and chill for about 1 hour. Then roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 3 mm and cut out about 50 cookies (stars or flowers) using a cookie cutter (about 5 cm in diameter). Cut out the centers of half of the cookies using small cookie cutters (stars, hearts, or moons). Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 200°C for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool. Heat the jelly in a small saucepan while stirring. Spread a thin layer of jelly on one cookie with a cut-out center and one without, and place them together. Dust the cookies with powdered sugar. Fill the top cookies with the remaining jelly and allow to set.
