Delicate, crisp, fragrant – vanilla cookies are among the classic recipes that never get old. You can make them easily and quickly, without complicated steps or special ingredients.

For 5 portions

Ingredients

300 g plain wheat flour
150 g butter (room temperature)
60 g sugar
1 egg yolk
zest of half a lemon
1 teaspoon baking powder
a pinch of salt
jam for filling

Preparation procedure

Preparing the dough: In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest; add the yolk and softened butter. Work the dough with your hands until smooth. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Shaping the cookies: Divide the dough into pieces of 30 grams each. From each, shape a ball and make a dent in the center with your finger or the end of a wooden spoon. Put a small teaspoon of jam into the center.
Baking: Bake the cookies in an oven preheated to 170 °C for 15 minutes, until the edges begin to lightly brown. After baking, let them cool on a wire rack.

Preparation time and number of servings

Total time: 1 hour 30 minutes (including chilling the dough)
Active preparation: 25 minutes
Servings: approximately 15 cookies

Tips and recommendations

Store the cookies in a closed container – they will remain crisp for several days.
You can sandwich them with jam or cream – they make a great alternative to Linzer cookies.
Add a drop of rum or vanilla extract to the dough for a more pronounced flavor and aroma.
If you like contrast, try blackcurrant or apricot jam – it will give the cookies a fresh note.

Conclusion

Vanilla cookies are proof that simple recipes often taste best. Their delicate texture, buttery flavor and hint of vanilla evoke home and festive moments. They are suitable not only with tea or coffee, but also as a gift – packed in a glass jar they will delight any lover of homemade baking.
