Ingredients for 6

3 baking trays (but only half as much once assembled)
250 g butter or margarine
50 g powdered sugar
80 chocolate powder (not cocoa)
1 pinch salt
2 tbsp water (no water with spelt flour)
350 g flour

Filling

0.5 jar red currant jelly

Preparation

  1. Stir the butter/margarine until smooth. Add the sugar, stir until foamy.
  2. Add the other ingredients and quickly form a dough. Refrigarate.
  3. Roll out 3 mm thick and cut out round shapes, one half with a star or heart shaped hole in it.
  4. Bake in the middle of the preheated oven at 200 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until only slighly brown.
  5. While they are still hot, coat one side with the jelly and cover with a second piece.

Tip

  • Do not prepare with frozen butter, it will not become as solid as it should.
  • 2024 we made for 4 people (167 g butter) and it was a good amount.
  • 2025 we made the same amount (even though Meli was not here).
