Ingredients
  • 200 grams ( = 7.05 ounces) soft butter (leave at room temperature til soft, do not heat in a microwave)
  • 100 grams of sugar (1 cup US = 225 grams, so you need a little less than half a cup)
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 300 grams of all-purpose flour (2 cups) can be substituted with whole-grain flour
  • 100 grams of ground hazelnuts (about 1 cup)
  • About 100 grams of red currant Jelly, or any jelly you like.
  • Icing sugar
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients and mix into a dough. I let the KitchenAid Stand Mixer do this. It will be scrambled at first, but as it forms into a nice dough.
  2. Put the dough in a plastic bag or wrap and refrigerate for at least half an hour.
  3. Take the dough out of the fridge and knead small pieces until it softens a bit again, then form bolls and make dents in them for the jelly (see pictures).
  4. Bake at 350°F for about 10 -15 minutes.
  5. Let the cookies cool.
  6. Heat the jelly until it's liquid, then fill the cookie dent with it.
  7. Sprinkle with icing sugar.
