200 grams ( = 7.05 ounces) soft butter (leave at room temperature til soft, do not heat in a microwave)
100 grams 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
Combine all ingredients and mix into a dough, I let the KitchenAid Stand Mixer do this. It will be scrambled at first but as the butter works in more it forms into a nice dough.
Put the dough in a plastic bag or wrap and refrigerate for at least half an hour.
Take the dough out from the fridge and knead small pieces till it softens a bit again and then form bolls and make dents in them for the jelly (see pictures).
Bake at 400F for about 10 -15 minutes.
Let cool the cookies.
Heat the jelly till it's liquid and fill the cookie dent with it.
Sprinkle with icing sugar.
