These cookies made with winter spices and stuffed with delicious jellies. They’re delicious when it is cold. And they also are great when served at Christmas (or gave away as a homemade gift).
Equipment
- plastic foil
- Refrigerator
- Rolling Pin
- Cookie cutter
- A conventional oven is used. When using a convection oven (with air fan) decrease the temperature with 30 °F / 20 °C
- Parchment paper
- Baking tray
- Pastry brush
Ingredients
- 225 grams butter unsalted, room temperature
- 160 grams dark brown sugar
- 160 grams golden syrup
- 1 egg size L
- 1 tablespoon gingerbread spices
- 1 pinch salt
- 500 gram flour
- 7 tablespoons jelly
Ingredients you need per step are listed below the step in Italic
Instructions
- Put the butter, sugar and syrup in a bowl and mix with a mixer until everything is creamy (about 3 minutes).
- Add the egg and mix until it is incorporated.
- Stir in the gingerbread spice and salt.
- Sift the flour to the batter and mix on the lowest speed through the dough (until just incorporated).
- Divide the dough in half, make from each dough a flat disk and wrap in plastic wrap.
- Put that in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Place one of the two pieces of dough on the baking mat and cover with plastic foil.
- Roll with a rolling pin until you have a dough of approximately 0.5 cm thickness.
- With a cookie cutter, stick out the cookies. Place on the baking mat on a baking tray and put in the refrigerator (at least half an hour).
- Grab the second disc of dough, roll out under plastic foil and again cut out the biscuits. But with these batch of cookies, you grab a smaller cookie cutter and cut out a nice form in the middle of a cookie (in my case a heart).
- Also cool these cookies in the refrigerator on a baking tray
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Remove the cookies from the refrigerator and cook in about 12 minutes until golden brown.
- Let them cool to room temperature.
- Pick up a whole cookie, spread some jelly on it and top with a second cookie from the other baking sheet (with the cut out in the middle) right on top.
- You can eat the cookies right away.
