For 1 serving

Ingredients

1 egg
80 g powdered sugar
¾ cup (approx. 170 g) softened butter
200 g all-purpose flour
40 g corn starch
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
a pinch of salt
100 g strawberry (or other) jam

Preparation procedure

Preparing the dough In a large bowl, whip the softened butter with the powdered sugar, vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt until light and fluffy.
Adding the egg Add the egg and beat briefly until combined.
Adding the starch and flour Gradually sift the corn starch into the butter mixture and then the all-purpose flour. Gently mix until a smooth, non-sticky dough forms.
Shaping the cookies Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a small plain tip. Pipe delicate cookies—swirls or rounds about 3–4 cm in diameter—onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Filling with jam Make a small indented well in each cookie (with a spoon or the tip of the bag) and fill it with a little jam.
Baking Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (convection) for about 15 minutes, until the cookies turn slightly pink at the edges.
Cooling After baking, let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
