Place the cold clarified butter, cut into small pieces, into a large bowl along with the poppy seeds, sugar, vanilla sugar, flour and egg.
Knead everything with your hands or a hand mixer (dough hooks) until a smooth dough is formed.
Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Prepare the oven:
Set the oven to 180 degrees (top and bottom heat) and let it preheat.
Line two baking trays with baking paper so that the cookies don't stick later.
Roll out the dough and cut out shapes:
Dust your work surface with a little flour. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and roll it out with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 2 mm.
Cut out small circles using a round cookie cutter (approx. 4 cm in diameter). If you don't have a cookie cutter, a glass or a cup works great too!
Carefully place the circles onto the baking trays.
Bake:
Bake the cookies on the middle rack for 10–12 minutes. They should be golden yellow, not brown.
Take them out of the oven and let them cool down completely – they will be soft at first, but will harden as they cool.
Fill:
Spread about half a teaspoon of cherry-marzipan jam on the underside of one cookie and carefully press a second cookie on top. This creates a "double-decker".
Decorate:
Gently melt the white chocolate over a double boiler. To do this, fill a small saucepan with a little water, heat it, and place a bowl containing the chocolate over the top. Stir until melted.
Coat half of the baked cookies with the chocolate coating. Sprinkle colorful sprinkles on top as desired before the chocolate hardens.
Let the cookies dry thoroughly – ideally on a wire rack or baking paper.
