Time 1h10m

Yield 30-50 terrace cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
1 medium lemon, zest of
1 1/4 cups butter (cold)
4 egg yolks, hard-boiled
2 egg yolks
1/2-1 cup jam
caster sugar

Steps:

  • Press the four hard-boiled egg yolks through a sieve and set aside.
  • Put the first four ingredients into food processor.
  • Cut cold butter into pieces and add to the flour mixture. Mix in food processor until pea sized clumps are formed.
  • Add hard-boiled and raw egg yolks and mix until large clumps are formed. Don't overmix dough. Take dough out of food processor and knead a few times to form the dough. Wrap dough in foil and put in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile preheat oven (390 F, 200 C). Grease a baking tray.
  • Take dough out of the fridge and divide into portions you can handle. Knead the dough a few times.
  • Flour the workspace and the dough very lightly and roll out thin (like a back of a knife) using a rolling pin.
  • Cut out cookies using cookies forms. To make the terrace cookies you need a "large", a "medium" and a "small" cookie form of the same shape. If you don't have cookie forms in different sizes, you can cut out cookies with a knife.
  • Bake cookies for 7-10 minutes. Baking time depends on your oven. Cookies should be lightly brown (don't overbake them).
  • Let cool cookies completey on a cooling rack.
  • Meanwhile heat up the jam on low heat so that it gets a little more fluid.
  • Make the terrace cookies: put a little of the jam on the underside of the medium sized cookie and put on the large one. Put a little jam on the small cookie and put on the medium one. Dust with caster sugar.
  • Store cookies in an airtight cookie box.
  • NOTE: The number of cookies depends on the size of your cookie forms and how thin you roll out the dough. So my number is just a vague guess.
  • NOTE: Baking/cooking time is given for one baking tray.
