Christmas cookies
Knead all the ingredients for the dough and chill. Roll out the dough and cut into equal-sized pieces. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C until golden brown and let cool. For the filling, pit and chop the dates. Chop the apricots and puree them with the dates in a blender. Add the sugar and lemon juice. Spread the mixture over the cooled cookies and place a second cookie on top as a lid. Cut the remaining dates into strips. Mix the powdered sugar with rum or orange juice and brush the slices with it. Finally, place a date strip on top. Tip: Since the dough is quite crumbly and crumbles when rolled out, I cut open two freezer bags, place the dough between them, and roll it out. This is easier and doesn’t make a mess.
