Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for one hour. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a sheet about 5 mm thick and cut into small rectangles. Use your thumb to make small indentations in the center and add a little jam. Place on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 15-17 minutes (electric oven: 190°C, gas mark 2-3). Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack. For the icing, mix the sifted icing sugar with the lemon juice and brush the cookies with it.
