Utensilien
- Bowl
- Knife
- Chopping Board
- Grater
- Rolling Pin
- Cookie cutters
- Baking paper
- Baking tray
Zutaten
- 100 g butter
- 130 g flour
- 130 g ground almonds
- 80 g sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 lemon (zest)
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- cranberry jam (for the filling)
Zubereitung
- Cut cold butter into pieces and put it in a bowl together with flour, almonds, sugar and eggs. Add grated lemon zest, spices and combine all of the ingredients except cranberry jam to a smooth dough. Let the dough rest for approx. 30 minutes in the fridge.
- Roll out the dough (0,5 cm thin) and cut out cookies. Cut the centers out of half of the cookies. Put the base-cookies on baking paper, cover them with the remaining tops (with the hole in the middle) and put some jam in the hole.
- Preheat the oven to 150 °C. Bake the cookies for 10 minutes. If you want to, you can add some more jam after baking – this way the cookies won’t dry out.
Tipps
Use as much cinnamon and cloves as you like – the spices make the cookies special. If you don't like cranberry jam or wanna make classic Southtyrolean sugar cookies with apricot jam, that's fine too!
