Tea cookies

Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 250 g butter
  • 220 g sugar
  • 1 egg(s)
  • 4 tbsp vinegar (wine vinegar)
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 300 g flour
  • 1 packet of baking powder
  • 1 lemon(s), grated peel
  • 1 jar jelly (blackcurrant jelly or mixed with raspberry jelly)

Instructions

Working time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour

Cream the butter, sugar, and egg until fluffy. Add the vinegar and salt, and gradually stir in the flour. Mix the baking powder into the remaining flour and season with the lemon zest. Chill and serve in batches. Roll out the dough and cut out circles—not too large, as they will spread slightly during baking. Bake at 180°C for about 8 to 10 minutes. Place two cookies together with the jelly. Decorate: You can cut out a smaller circle (or a heart or star) in the top of the cookies. Fill this “hole” with a little jelly when assembling the cookies. Or you can cover the cookies with a powdered sugar and lemon juice glaze.
