Homemade shortbread with cherry jam.

• 250 g flour
• 150 g butter
• 100 g powdered sugar
• 2 yolks
• zest of 1 lemon
• vanillin (on the tip of a knife)
• a pinch of salt

• jam or preserves (I used cherry)
• powdered sugar for sprinkling

Delicate, fragile shortbread cookies that melt in your mouth, with sweet and sour aromatic jam, sprinkled with powdered sugar. As a basis for the recipe, I took classic shortbread cookies made with powdered sugar, with the addition of yolks. This variation of cookies turns out to be the most delicate, so I do not recommend replacing the yolks with a whole egg, or the powdered sugar with sugar. Of course, such substitutions can be made, it will also be tasty, but not as tender and crumbly as in this recipe. I added my favorite lemon zest to the dough, I really like it in shortbread dough, and a little vanilla. Since we are using powdered sugar here and not sugar, vanilla sugar is also not desirable here; it is better to add vanillin, vanilla powder or vanilla extract.
Such cookies can be timed to coincide with the upcoming holiday, which is what I did, but, of course, no one is stopping you from making such shortbread cookies on any other day :-)
I ended up with 16 cookies in total when assembled.

Preparation:

Grind soft butter and powdered sugar until smooth and light.

Remove the zest from the lemon by grating it on a fine grater (only the yellow part).
Add zest, yolks, vanillin and salt to the butter, mix well.

Add flour in parts, mixing well with a spoon each time.

Form the dough into a ball with your hands, do not knead for too long.
Place the dough in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes, the dough should cool well.

Roll out the dough into a layer approximately 5 mm thick.
Cut out with a cookie cutter. You can use any other molds, or, if desired, cut out a heart from thick cardboard and circle it with a knife.

In half of the hearts, cut out another heart with a smaller cookie cutter.

Transfer the preparations to a baking tray lined with baking paper.
If the pieces do not hold their shape well, it is best to cool them well in the refrigerator again before transferring and baking.

Place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake for about 5-15 minutes. I baked for 12 minutes, but use your oven as a guide. When the dough begins to barely turn golden around the edges, it is ready; do not overcook the cookies in the oven.
Cool the finished cookies completely.

- a rather simple and at the same time original shortbread cookie, which will appeal to all those who like to while away the time before the series with a cup of tea and cookies. By the way, I don’t know why, but cookies with jam very popular in Europe.

Ingredients

• butter 120 g
• powdered sugar 100 g
• flour 300 g
• egg 1 PC.
• baking powder 1 tsp.
• salt pinch
• jam

You can use any jam; for example, I opened a jar of delicious lingonberry jam. I have enough ingredients for 22-25 pieces with a diameter of 5.5 cm. Powdered sugar in this jam cookie recipe used to facilitate preparation, the powder dissolves easily. You can use sugar instead of powdered sugar, but you will have to work a little harder with the whisk during cooking.

Preparation

We prepare all the products necessary for making cookies. The butter must be taken out in advance so that it becomes soft.

Mix the dry ingredients: sift together the flour, baking powder and add a pinch of salt.

In a large bowl, beat the butter and powdered sugar until creamy. This can be done either with a mixer or a whisk. Add the egg and mix with a whisk until smooth.

Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and knead into a plastic dough, form it into a ball, wrap it in cling film or a bag and put it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

Roll out the dough on a silicone mat (or baking paper) into a layer 4-5 mm thick and cut out circles with a diameter of 5-6 cm (or any other shape). For half of the blanks, cut a small hole in the middle. Before putting the pieces in the oven, they should be placed in the freezer for 15 minutes, this is necessary so that the dough does not spread too much during baking and holds its shape.

Bake for about 10-12 minutes in an oven preheated to 180°C. Cool the finished cookies on a wire rack or paper towel (to prevent the cookies from sweating and becoming wet). Now comes the fun part: putting the halves together. Spread the back side of the whole cookie with jam and cover the top with the other half in the form of a ring.
