Ingredients · Servings 12
- 1 masa sablée (sweet quebrada or breeze)
- 4 tablespoons of raspberry jam
- 50g icing sugar (approx.)
Method · 30 min
- Roll out the dough between two sheets of baking paper until thin. Cut out hearts with a cookie cutter (you can chill it for a few seconds in the freezer) and place the pieces on a lined baking tray.
- Chill the dough for 10 minutes in the freezer. Remove any excess dough and cut each heart in half to form the ghosts.
- Make the eyes and mouth on half of the pieces using a nozzle or straw: use the narrow end for the eyes and the wide end for the mouth. Tilt the bottom end slightly to draw the ghost's "tail".
- Bake at 180°C (350°F), top and bottom heat, for about 10 minutes. If you want them to keep their shape, cover them with baking paper and another tray as a weight.
- Let them cool on a wire rack. Fill the base of the cookies with a little jam and sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar using a sieve for a more even coating.
- Put the pieces together like a sandwich: place one piece sprinkled with jam on top of another and press gently.
- You can now enjoy these fun and very easy ghost cookies, perfect for preparing as a family and adding a sweet touch to Halloween night.
