Knead everything into a smooth dough and form into balls about 2.5cm in diameter. Chill the dough for about 1 hour.

Make small indentations in the balls, bake in a preheated oven at 150-180°C (300-350°F) for about 15-20 minutes, then let them cool. Heat the blackberry jelly, fill the center of the cooled cookies, and let them dry.
