LINECKÉ CUKROVÍThis one is classic, the dough has a lemony soothing taste. I always plan on finding a perfect jam to match it and always end up with the taste od jam overpowering the taste of dough. This time I used raspberry, I would like to make another batch with lemon and orange preserves. I think rosehip would also be good.
This recipe makes about 40 cookies.
Ingredience:
2 cups all purpose flour + extra for rolling
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
0.7 cup powdered sugar
1.2 sticks of butter at room temperature
2 egg yolks
juice and zest from 1 lemon
To make the dough:
On the rolling board sift the flour, add sugar, zest and spices, cut in the butter, add yolks and lemon juice and knead a pliant dough. Wrap in plastic and let sit in the fridge over night.
To make cookies:
Preheat the oven to 320F, position on the middle rack. Prepare 2 baking sheets with baking paper. Prepare cookie cutters, you will need 2 cookie cutters, one full heart and one with the little heart in the middle. Roll out the dough just under 1/4 inch think. Cut out hearts so you end up with half amount of full hearts and half amount of hearts with the little heart in the middle.
The easiest is to transfer the hearts to the baking sheet when the dough is still inside the cookie cutter.Bake one sheet at the time for 5 - 9 minuts, the cookies should be still light. Leave to cool on the sheet for 2 minutes. spread the jam on teh full hearts and cover them with the one with the hole. Store int eh box in cold place for at least a week or two. You can powder them with sugar just before serving.
