12 Days Of Christmas | Blättertorte Biscuits

In day 9 of  "12 Days Of Christmas" series, I decided to share with you a simple, easy to follow recipe to make light and delicious butter cookies with jam, perfect for Christmas time with all the amazing festive cutters and pretty white icing on the top.

You will need...

250g flour

250g butter

120g sugar

1 egg white

Jam (I used raspberry jam)

Icing Sugar

How to...

Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Using your hands, mix the flour, the butter, the sugar and the egg white until they are all mixed together.

Spread some flour on the worktop and roll out the dough, a little bit at the time, with the rolling pin. Using circular cutters, cut out shapes and carefully put them on a lined baking tray. If you want that small hole in the middle of the biscuits, use some smaller cutters to cut off the centre of the biscuit.

Put the tray(s) into the oven and bake them for about 8-10 minutos - or until they are all baked and golden.

When they are totally cold, separately, put the icing sugar on top of the biscuits with the little hole in the middle. Put jam in the biscuits without the hole in the middle and then join together both parts
