The second thing baked in my -finally- own kitchen. Not too many posts lately, as we were busy making a house into a home. Now I have a big, comfortable kitchen, decent oven, a quiet one and with light inside( so far it was a small torch to check what’s going on inside..:-).<\/p>\n
On Saturday I discovered I lost a bit of weight, all my nice skinny jeans fit again, but I still crave sweet stuff, home baked stuff, especially in the afternoon, with a cup of tea or in the evening, when Florek’s home and we’re watching something.<\/p>\n
These cookies are the result of such craving- I want something, quick look at mojewypieki.com, to the kitchen and within 50 minutes I have cookies. Izzlett was aslepp, that helped, must be said.<\/p>\n
I used 125 g of cold butter, 60 g of icing sugar, 110 g of plain flour and ground almonds( some of them were flaked almonds, which adds a nice, crunchy texture, I love it), an egg yolk, half a tsp of vanilla paste, half a tsp of baking powder and a touch of salt and Kitchen Aid did the work. Dorota recommends chilling it an hour in the fridge, I threw it on the freezer for 15 minutes and it worked nicely.<\/p>\n
Chilled dough gets formed into small balls, just like kluski slaskie, with a small hole in the middle, which I filled with jam. Good tip from Dorota- a home made jam, not a shop bought jam, which boils over and spills, as shown on the lower photo. The only home made jam I had was the last jar of my my mum’s pear jam. I made a few with strawberry Bonne Maman’s as well.<\/p>\n
The cookies baked in 170 degrees for about 12 minutes. They taste especially nice about 20 minutes after baking. Yum.<\/p>\n
