Christmas cookies
In a food processor, mix the cold butter with a pinch of salt, the sugar, and 2 egg yolks. Then swap the whisk for a dough hook. Add the remaining dough ingredients and knead until smooth. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible. On a floured surface, cut out round cookies. Cut a hole in the center of half of the cookies. Mix 1 egg yolk with about 5 ml of milk in a bowl and brush the circles with it. Sprinkle the flaked almonds on top. Bake at 170 degrees Celsius (top/bottom heat) for about 12 minutes. Mix the jams well with the rum. After baking, spoon about 1 teaspoon of the jam mixture onto each round cookie and place the circles with the flaked almonds on top.
