- powdered sugar
Tools

Steps
The first thing to do is prepare the shortcrust pastry, as per recipe, wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
After the resting time, proceed by making small balls and placing them on the oven tray covered with parchment paper.
Make holes in the center of each cookie. I used a cork from sparkling wine.
Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes. They should remain light and not overcooked.
Fill the cookies with cherry jam.
If desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
