Steps
The easy process to make Valentine’s spiced cookies
Place all the ingredients in the mixer in the order listed, alternating between pulses. Leave the egg for last. Once all the ingredients are well combined, add the egg and let the mixer work.
Place the dough on a board and with a pinch of flour, form a dough ball and let it rest in the fridge for just 10 minutes.
Roll out the dough on a tray using parchment paper, and cut the cookies with a glass. Use the tip of your index finger to make indentations in the cookies and then fill these with a teaspoon of jam.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes at 340°F (170°C) with fan. They will remain slightly puffy and soft, be careful not to overbake them.
Storage and Tips
You can prepare the cookies in advance and store them in an airtight container. You can also package them for a super DIY gift idea.
You can alternatively prepare the dough in advance and freeze it, rolling it out very thinly, this way it will be easier to work with later.
FAQ
