    Happy Cookie Friday! Easter is close so I got some cookies today that totally fit the theme: Easter Sandwich Cookies with Jam Filling. These delicious cookies are easy to prepare and done in no time at all – if you need a little snack or Easter gift, these “last minute” cookies are perfect and look really good in a cute little Easter basket next to the chocolate Easter bunny ;)

    Easter is the time to meet with family and friends – similar to Christmas. However, I think Easter is much less stressful because you can skip the hunt for the perfect Christmas gifts and all the decorations overload. Easter is the time for some relaxed family gatherings, cooking, eating, and drinking Eierlikör ;) Is there anything better? Going on vacation maybe? Well… not gonna happen this year anyway ;P

    We are baking these sandwich cookies quite often for Easter. There is somebody in this household that loves the combination of crumbly shortbread cookies and the jam quite a lot. Luckily they are really easy to prepare, so I don’t mind making them often ;P The dough is done in minutes, can be done days in advance, and the rolling out and cutting out is also easy to do. Maybe I should teach a certain somebody to make them on their own since they are so easy to do ;P

    The dough also works well if you want to make other types of cookies. The shortbread dough is ideal for cutting out bunnies, little chicks, or Easter eggs. If you chill the dough well before baking there is almost no spreading – which is really helpful if you have delicate shapes. If you have more time on your hand, you could also do some decorations with royal icing. I hardly ever have the patience to do that. I like it simple and easy most of the time ;P

    INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

    (about 20 cookies)

    1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup (70g) confectioners’ sugar
    1 pinch of salt
    2/3 cup (150g) cold butter
    1 small egg
    1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

    5.3 oz. (150g) jam (raspberry, rhubarb, or apricot, etc.)

    (ca. 20 Stück)

    220g Mehl (Type 405)
    70g Puderzucker
    1 Prise Salz
    150g kalte Butter
    1 Ei (S)
    1/2 TL Vanille Extrakt

    150g Marmelade (Himbeere, Rhabarber, Aprikose, etc.)

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Add the flour, confectioners’ sugar, and salt to a large bowl and mix to combine. Add the cold butter in small pieces and cut into even smaller pieces with a pastry blender*. Whisk the egg and add together with the vanilla extract to the bowl – mix with a fork first, then knead with your hands to get a nice smooth dough. Try to work quickly so the butter is not melting. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.

    2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Divide the dough in half (keep one half in the fridge) and roll out thinly on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles (you need an even number), then cut out little bunnies or chicks from the center of half of the dough circles – these will be the tops of the sandwich cookies. Collect leftover dough and roll out again to get more dough circles. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes – the cookies should not get much of a color. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheet for some time, then transfer to a wire rack to cool down completely. Bake more cookies with the remaining dough sitting in the fridge.

    3. Warm up the jam a bit and stir so it softens a bit, then add a small amount onto the bottom part of each sandwich cookie and top with the cut-out cookie top. The cut-outs should be filled nicely with jam. Let dry for 1-2 hours. Store in a tightly closing tin box in a cool place.

    1. Mehl, Puderzucker und Salz in einer großen Schüssel vermischen. Die Butter in kleinen Stücken dazugeben und mit einem Teigmischer* in etwa erbsengroße Stücke zerteilen. Das Ei etwas verquirlen und zusammen mit dem Vanille Extrakt zur Schüssel dazugeben und erst mit einer Gabel unterrühren, dann alles mit den Händen zügig zu einem glatten Teig verkneten. Den Teig zur Kugel formen, flach drücken und in Klarsichtfolie einschlagen – mindestens 1 Stunde oder über Nacht in den Kühlschrank legen.

    2. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Den Teig halbieren und auf einer leicht bemehlten Fläche dünn ausrollen (Rest im Kühlschrank lassen). Mit einem runden Ausstecher erst Kreise ausstechen und bei der Hälfte davon noch einmal einen kleinen Hasen oder Küken aus dem Teigkreis ausstechen. Teigreste sammeln, erneut ausrollen und noch mehr Kekse ausstechen. Auf das vorbereitete Blech setzen und für etwa 10 Minuten backen – die Kekse sollten kaum Farbe bekommen haben. Aus dem Ofen holen und erst auf dem Blech kurz abkühlen lassen und dann auf einem Kuchengitter komplett abkühlen lassen. Mit dem restlichen Teig noch mehr Kekse backen.

    3. Die Marmelade etwas erwärmen und durchrühren, damit sie weicher wird, dann jeweils einen kleinen Klecks auf die Keksen (ohne Aussparung) geben und mit den Keksen mit den Aussparungen zusammendrücken – die Hasen und Küken sollten dabei gut mit Marmelade gefüllt sein. Für 1-2 Stunden trocknen lassen und dann in einer gut schließenden Dose an einem kühlen Ort aufbewahren.

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
