Classic Christmas cookies with fruity filling

Knead the dough ingredients into a smooth dough, wrap in cling film, and let rest in the refrigerator for one hour. Then roll out to about 3 mm thick. Using a triangular cutter (or your preferred size), cut out cookies and bake at approximately 160 degrees Celsius (convection oven) for 10-12 minutes. Let cool. This yields about 40 cookies. Spread half of them with plum jam and place the other cookie on top. Melt the chocolate coatings separately in a bain-marie, place in plastic bags, cut off a small corner, and decorate the cookies. Tip: Since the plum jam causes the cookies to become crumbly very quickly, it’s best to decorate them just before the party. It goes very quickly.
