    Let’s get started with Christmas baking, shall we? Christmas is not that far away, so it’s a good idea to check some recipes for Christmas cookies you might want to try in the upcoming weeks. To make it easy for you, I got one of my favorite Christmas cookie recipes for you today: Rum Sandwich Cookies! Just for adults and so good! ;P

    Not everything you’re baking is going to be perfect for everyone. Some people do not like raisins for example, but that does not mean you can never ever bake with raisins. If you like them, the raisins haters have to back off if you want to bake oatmeal raisin cookies or something else with those little, shriveled bugs ;) Your baked goods also do not have to be for kids all the time. Sometimes you can bake “only for adults” – for example, these rum sandwich cookies…

    These cookies are not soaked in alcohol – don’t get me wrong. But the glaze has some rum in it and since that one is not going anywhere over time, you should not give them to kids. Unless you bring them up with a beer bottle already, then you can feed them with those cookies :P (Just kidding!!!!)

    I really love the rum flavor in cookies or cakes. My Caribbean inspired Rum Cake, for example, is divine! So delicious! These sandwich cookies are just as delicious. They are pretty basic shortbread cookies with a raspberry filling and on top, of course, the rum sugar glaze. I could eat them all at once.

    In the upcoming weeks I will have much more Christmas cookies here on the blog… and probably some other recipes for nice Christmas treats. If you can’t wait, there is already a section on the blog dedicated to Christmas recipes – maybe you want to take a look at those first ;)

    (30-35 pieces)

    For the dough:
    2 1/3 (300g) all-purpose flour

    For the filling/glaze:
    5.3 oz. (150g) raspberry jam
    7 oz. (200g) confectioners’ sugar
    5-6 tbsp. rum

    (30-35 Stück)

    Für den Teig:
    300g Mehl (Type 405)
    150g Zucker
    1 Prise Salz
    150g Butter
    1 Ei (M)
    1/2 TL Vanille Extrakt

    5-6 EL Rum

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. Add the flour, sugar, and salt to a large bowl and mix. Add the butter in small pieces, the egg and vanilla extract and knead to get a nice smooth dough. If you like you can also add some rum flavor here to get even rum-ier cookies ;) Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about 1 hour.

    2. Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C). Line 2-3 baking sheets with baking parchment and set aside. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut out an even number of circles (Ø 2 inches/5cm) – you should get about 60-70 altogether. Place the dough circles on the prepared baking sheets and bake one after another for about 7-9 minutes – they should not get much of a color. Take out of the oven and let cool down on a wire rack. Continue and bake the rest of the cookies.

    3. Warm the jam (either in the microwave or in a bowl of hot water) and stir to soften it. If you do not like the seeds in the jam, press it through a sieve. Add a small amount of jam on one cookie and press a second one on top to get a double layered cookie. Repeat with the remaining cookies and let dry for some time.

    4. For the glaze mix the confectioners’ sugar gradually with the rum until you get a thick glaze (you might not need all the rum). Brush the glaze on top of the cookies and let dry completely. Store in a tin box.

    1. Das Mehl mit Zucker und Salz in einer großen Schüssel vermischen. Die Butter in kleinen Stücken dazugeben, dann das Ei und Vanille Extrakt und alles zu einem glatten Teig verkneten. Wer mag, kann hier auch schon etwas Rum Aroma mit in den Teig geben – ist aber nicht zwingend erforderlich. Den Teig zu einer Kugel formen, platt drücken und dann in Klarsichtfolie einschlagen und für 1 Stunde in den Kühlschrank legen.

    2. Den Ofen auf 200°C (390°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. 2-3 Backbleche mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Den Teig auf einer bemehlten Fläche ausrollen und eine gerade Anzahl von Kreisen (Ø 5cm/2 inches) ausstechen – sollte zwischen 60 und 70 Stück ergeben, je nachdem wie dick ihr den Teig ausgerollt habt. Die Teigkreise auf die Bleche setzen und dann nacheinander für 7-9 Minuten goldgelb backen. Die fertigen Plätzchen auf einem Kuchengitter auskühlen lassen.

    3. Die Marmelade in der Mikrowelle (oder einer Schüssel mit heißem Wasser) kurz erwärmen und glatt rühren – wer bei Himbeermarmelade keine Kerne mag, sollte sie vorab noch durch ein Sieb streichen. Auf die Hälfte der Plätzchen jetzt eine kleine Portion der Marmelade geben und dann mit einem zweiten Plätzchen zusammendrücken, damit ein Doppeldecker entsteht. Zur Seite legen und etwas trocknen lassen.

    4. Den Puderzucker nach und nach mit dem Rum glattrühren. Die Glasur sollte einigermaßen dickflüssig sein und nicht komplett davonlaufen – es kann also sein, dass ihr etwas weniger Rum braucht. Die Plätzchen auf der Oberseite mit der Glasur bestreichen und komplett trocknen lassen. In einer Blechdose lagern.
