Prepare all the ingredients. Choose butter with a fat content of 82. 5%. Get it out of the fridge beforehand so it softens. You can choose jam to your liking. I have apricot and raspberry.

Beat the oil with powdered sugar for a few minutes until fluffy, creamy mass and complete dissolution of the powdered sugar.

Wipe the egg whites through a sieve and add to the whipped oil, mix thoroughly.

Sift the flour and pour it into the butter-egg mass in several steps, mix it thoroughly.

Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment into a 5 mm thick formation. Remove the dough layer on the hard board into the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Heat the oven to 180 ° C. Get the chilled dough, cut out cookies with molds. In half of the blanks, make the hole a smaller mold. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until slightly golden (navigate through your oven, as these cookies are very easy to burn).

Cool the ready-made cookies.

Sprinkle the part of the cookies with holes with icing sugar. Lubricate the other part (without holes) with jam. Gently connect the two halves (careful, tender, fragile biscuits).

Enjoy your meal!
