Add this ingredient to the dough. The cookies will turn out incredibly crisp
In addition to mazurek (Polish mazurek) and babka (baked cakes), it's worth ensuring that small, sweet snacks appear on the holiday table. Shortbread cookies layered with rose jam are a great idea. They're perfect on Boxing Day as an accompaniment to afternoon coffee or tea.
Ingredients
- 300 g flour
- 130 g sugar
- 170 g butter
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
- Rose marmalade
Sift the flour onto a pastry board and mix with the sugar. Add the butter and cut in using a knife. Add the egg and vanilla paste, and quickly knead the dough.
Form a ball from the mixture, wrap it in cling film or baking paper and place in the fridge for 50 minutes.
Roll out the chilled dough to a thickness of 5 mm. Using a round cookie cutter, cut out an even number of cookies. In half of them, cut out a chicken shape.
Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake at 170 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes. Then set aside to cool.
Spread marmalade on the cooled, round cookies and cover with a cookie with a pattern cut out.
