Easter cookies with strawberry jam (galletas de pascua con mermelada de frutillas)

 

Needless to say time really flies and goes fast and  we are already in Easter, the truth is  I was thinking what to do for this Easter time (one of my favorite holydays) and I found these cookies.

It is a German recipe and the dough is delicious.

They come out like 6 large cookies  because they are double and it depends on the mold you use because the bunny has to fit inside the egg.

I made  an egg mold for my bunny but it turned out fine.

I wish you all a very happy Easter with your family

Method

Mix the butter until soft, add sugar and vanilla extract.
beat the egg and keep stirring until the mixture is noticiably lighter.

Now knead by hand into a soft dough (if is needed add some flour)

Wrap with foil and put in the fridge for 3/4 hour.

Cutting the cookies

Spread some flour on the table and roll out the dough about 5 mm thin.

Cut out the cookies with the egg mold and place on the baking sheet.

Cut out a rabbit for every second egg and place next to it.

Preheat the oven to 180°c (350°F)

Bake in the middle of the oven for about 10 minutes or until they are golden yellow.

Take out with oven gloves and let cool down a little.

Let cool by a while.

Spread the strawberry jam on the lukewarm cookies (without cutout) and carefully press the second piece on top.

When they have completely cooler down, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
