Ingredients for Jam Cookies
- For cookies:
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup unsalted softened butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- A pinch of salt
- For the spread:
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
- 1/4 cup apricot jam
- 1/2 cup unsalted cold butter
- 1/4 cup powder sugar
- a drop of edible green color
- For the butter icing:
- Mix cold butter and icing sugar nicely in a smooth paste. Add a drop of green color and mix them. Your butter icing is ready.
Instructions
- *Start preheating your oven at 160 degrees Celsius before you start this recipe
- Whip the butter with an egg beater until it becomes very creamy. Once you get the right texture, add maple syrup, salt & vanilla essence.
- Once all the ingredients blend nicely, add flour & continue mixing. Now, using your hands knead the mixture until it becomes a nice dough.
- Now put your dough in between of two parchment papers as it is & using a rolling pin, roll it out until it becomes flat. The thickness of your dough should be around 1/4 inch so make sure you don’t roll it way to much.
- Now we have our cookie dough ready! Use a cookie cutter to make circle cookies only!
- Okie, now this part is a little complicated too explain but we will try our best! Our goal is to make sandwhich-like cookies, right? So we will set aside half of the cookie shapes & use the other half to make some shapes inside them so the jam will be visible, something like this:
- So set aside half of the circles & make your desired shapes inside the other half.
- Now line your baking tray with parchment paper & carefully transfer your cookies onto it.
- Now put your cookies into the oven for 15 minutes at 160 degrees celcius. Once they bake take em’ out of your oven and let them cool down.
- Now on the plain, circle cookies spread one of the jams listed above in the “spread” section in the ingredients.
- Place your shape-cut cookies on top of the plain, jam ones to make sandwich-like cookies.
- Dust your cookies with some icing sugar & tada! Your cookies are ready to be eaten (and relished, hopefully!)
