This is one of the recipe that we found in the cookbook of our grandmothers.
Shopping list:
- 250 gr butter
- 5 spoons sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 yolk
- 2 vanilla sugars
- 500 gr flour
- marmalade out of Handful strawberry (boiled water, add Handful crashed strawberries, sugar, gelatin)

Preheat oven to 350° F. In a large bowl, mix softened butter and flour together with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. In a smaller bowl, beat eggs and yolk with sugar until well mixed, and add to a large bowl and blend.
Work with hands, until pastry is well done. Divide it on 2 or 3 parts and cover with foil. Leave it for 15-20 minutes in refrigerator.

Then with the smaller cookie cutter, cut a shape in the center of the cookies on one pan only.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cookies just barely begin to turn brown on top. Remove from the oven and cool until firm.
To assemble, spread the pan of whole cookies with the strawberry jam, leaving more in the middle than at the edges. Using a small sifter or strainer, sift powdered sugar over the cookies with the cut-outs in the other pan. Then place the cut-out cookies atop the jam-covered cookies to finish.
