Portions: 30 large

Baking utensils:

  • 1 x round cookie cutter(approx. 4 cm diameter)
  • 1 x rolling pin
  • 2 x baking paper
  • 125 g cold clarified butter (Alternatively, butter)
  • 75 g ground poppy seeds
  • 100 g sugar
  • 1 parcel vanilla sugar
  • 200 g all-purpose flour plus a little more for the work surface
  • 1 large egg Size M
  • 4 EL Cherry marzipan jam
  • 150 g white chocolate coating
  • Sprinkles of your choice

Preparation:

Make the dough:

  • 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.
