Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 300 g flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 100 g sugar
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 200 g butter
  • 50 g almonds, chopped
  • 100 g jam

Instructions

Working time approx. 50 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 2 hours 5 minutes

enough for about 30 cookies (depending on size)

Knead flour, 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, sugar, salt, and butter into a shortcrust pastry. Cover and chill for 60 minutes. Then knead briefly until smooth and form into balls about 3 cm in size. Make a well in the center with your finger. Lightly beat the egg whites, brush the edges around the cookie holes with it, and then lightly dip them in the almonds. Place the cookies on a prepared baking sheet. Using 2 teaspoons, place small mounds of jam into the cookie holes (I like to use red jam). Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (top/bottom heat) for about 15 minutes until light golden. Let cool on a wire rack.
