A Cookie Cutter for XMas Cookies, in germany we call them "Spitzbuben":
300g /10.5 oz plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
100g / 3.5 oz sugar
1 pk / 1/4 oz Vanilla sugar
1 eggs
150g / 6 oz butter, unsalted
20g / 1 oz powdered sugar
40g / 1.5 oz red currant jelly
In a bowl mix flour, baking powder, sugar and vanilla sugar together. Add 1 egg and very cold, unsalted butter in small pieces. Quickly bring everything together to form a soft dough. You don't need to refrigerate the dough. Roll out the half of the dough on a floured workspace. With a cookie cutter cut out 25 big hearts. Put them on a parchment paper lined baking tray. Do the same with the other half of the dough. But additionally cut out small hearts from the middle of 25 hearts. Pre heat the oven to 160 C / 320 F. Bake the Spitzbuben for about 8-9 minutes until lightly brown. Let them cool down on the baking tray to become firm and crispy. Dust all cookies with confectioner's sugar. Put a small amount of red currant jelly on all whole cookies and top with a cookie with a hole in the middle. After the jelly is dry, store them in a tin can. Be happy! Omnomnomnom
