Knead the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, cardamom, eggs, and butter into a dough and chill for at least 2 hours. Meanwhile, simmer the plum jam with rum until thick. Roll out the chilled dough and cut out circles. Place 1/2 teaspoon of plum jam on each circle and fold it over to form half-circles. Lightly press the ends together with a fork. Brush each cookie with milk and bake in a preheated oven at 160–180°C. Once cooled, dust one half of the cookies with cocoa powder and the other half with powdered sugar.
