Finally I've made it. The whole time before chirstmas i was thinking of making some christmas cookies, but i haven't had the time and some other 'more important' matters interfered.
But now i made the first of bunch of cookies. The name of the cookies could be roughly translated into english as 'Almond-Apricot-Slices'. Here is the receipe for the cookies:
Ingredients for the dough:
- 250g flour
- 1 teaspoon backing powder
- 140g sugar
- 1 tip salt
- 5 yellow of egg
- 120g butter
Ingredients for the covering:
- 1 glas apricot jam
- 5 white of egg
- 200g sugar
- 150g grond almonds
- 50g chop almonds
To create the dough you simply mix all the ingredients and put the dough in the frigerator for about 30 minutes. For the covering you create a beaten egg white and aftwards put the sugar and the grond almonds into it. Now you roll the dough out on a baking sheet and put the apricot jam on top of it. Now put the covering on top of the apricot jam and disperse the chop almonds.
Backing time: 25 minutes at about 200 degree celsius
Enjoy it!
