RECIPE
Cookies
415g - 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
225g - 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
160g - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
2 tsp finely grated orange zest
Powdred sugar, for dusting
1 1/2 cup raspberry jam or Nutella.
Instructions:
Cookies
Add the flour, cinnamon, freshly ground nutmeg, baking powder, cloves and salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
In a separate bowl, add the butter and sugar and use an electric hand mixer to beat for about 3 minutes until pale and fluffy. Add the egg yolk, egg, vanilla extract and orange zest. Mix until all combined.
Add half of the flour mixture and use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix until well combined. Add the remaining flour mixture an repeat until a dough forms.
Split the mixture into two and place each dough piece on top of a large piece of baking paper. Cover with another sheet of baking paper and use a rolling pin to roll out to 1/8 inch thick. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up. Alternatively you can place it in the freezer in a flat spot for 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 175°C / 350°F. Line two baking sheet with baking paper or silicone baking mats. Use a 2-3 inch round fluted cookie cutter to cut out as many cookies as you can. Tranfer to the baking trays as soon as you cut them. You can re-roll the dough scraps and cut out more cookies. Use a small, shaped cookie cutter to cut out windows in half the cookie discs. I used hearts and stars.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until sides of cookies begin going golden. Let them cool on the baking trays for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Place the cooled cookies with the cut outs on a separate cooling rack over a baking tray and dust with powdered sugar. Add just less than a tsp of raspberry jam or Nutella on the remaining cookies and spread around using a spoon. Sandwich with the dusted cookies to finish.
Notes
Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week. Please note, they will soften after the first day and become almost cake like. The flavours will however intensify.
