Preparation of Carnival Cookies
Sift the flour with the baking powder and place it in a large bowl.
Add the cold butter from the fridge cut into pieces, work it with your fingertips until you have a sandy mixture.
Add the powdered sugar and incorporate it by working with your hands.
Incorporate one egg at a time letting it absorb, if necessary use a spatula.
Turn the mixture onto the work surface and knead it until you form a smooth ball and compact.
Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Then roll out with a rolling pin into a thin sheet 0.16 inches and with the cookie cutters cut out discs.
On half of them make a hole in the center with another cutter in the shape of a star or whatever you prefer.
Sprinkle the discs without holes with powdered sugar, those with holes brush with a little milk and sprinkle with colorful sprinkles.
Preheat the oven to 356°F in static mode, line a baking tray with parchment paper and arrange the cookies spaced apart.
Bake them in the middle rack of the oven for 12 minutes, remember they should not brown.
Once baked and cooled fill them with jam and close in pairs, store them in a tin box.
