Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter cold, chopped into small pieces (8.8oz)
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 4 tablespoons water cold
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2-3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 16 ounces fruit jam plums, apples, strawberries, raspberries etc
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- You can make the dough by hand or in a food processor:
- By hand: Sift the flour in a bowl and add the cold chopped butter. Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour until you obtain pea-size crumbles. Over the crumbles, add water, salt, and vinegar, and mix with your hands until you get a smooth dough.
- Food processor: Add the butter to the flour and pulse 3-4 times until the dough looks like pea-size crumbles. Add water, salt, and vinegar and pulse until you obtain a smooth dough.
- Shape the cookies: Roll the dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness and cut circles with a water glass or a round cookie cutter.
- Add jam: Place a dollop of jam in the middle and fold the dough in half.
- Close the cookies: Use a fork to press the edges of the cookie together and place the cookie on the baking sheet.
- Bake: When all cookies are formed, bake them at 350F/180C for about 17-20 mins.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let them cool on a metal rack.
- Serve: Dust powdered sugar over each cookie and serve.
Notes
- Expert Tip: To ensure a flaky texture, keep your butter and water as cold as possible when making the dough.
- Filling Variations: Experiment with different jams like strawberry, apricot, or blackberry. You can also try chocolate spread or lemon curd for a unique twist.
- Dough Handling: Avoid overworking the dough to maintain its tenderness. Roll it out gently for the best results.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh. If in a warm climate, refrigerating the cookies can preserve their texture.
