Here is my little Strawberry Jam Cookies for Fiesta Friday #17. I always like simple cookies, as I find they go so well with a good afternoon tea or coffee. I have always made cookies or Sablés (in French), and they are very easy to make!Thank you, Angie (from The Novice Gardener), Jhuls (from The Not So Creative Cook), Selma (from Selma’s Table) and Alex (from Dinner Daydreams).
Serves: 12 Cookies
Ingredients:
- 400g of all purpose flour
- 180g of butter
- 100g of icing sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons of milk
- Icing sugar to dust
- Strawberry jam
Procedure:
- In a large bowl add the flour, the icing sugar, and the salt.
- Add the butter and crumble the ingredients with your fingers.
- Add the 2 beaten eggs with milk and mix slowly (always with your fingers), until your form a soft dough.
- Wrap the dough in a plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Dust with the flour a clean surface.
- Remove the dough from the fridge.
- With a rolling pin, flatten the dough (0,5 centimeters thickness).
- Grease and flour a baking tray.
- Preheat the oven to 170C degrees.
- With cookie cutters make a circle shape.
- Divide the numbers of the biscuits in 2.
- Keep one-half whole (which will serve as the base).
- Use small cookie cutters and make a hole in the middle of the other half (you obtain half whole biscuits and half with a hole in the middle, like in the pictures).
- Add the biscuits to the baking tray.
- Bake for 20 minutes (more or less depending of the oven), when the bottom is golden remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
- With a teaspoon add a little of the jam in the middle of the whole biscuits (the base).
- Dust with icing sugar the biscuit with a hole in the middle.
- Delicately cover the biscuits with the hole on the top of the whole biscuits.
The cookies are soft and buttery. You can choose any jam, I opted for a strawberry jam because I like the contrast of the jam and the icing sugar.
Bonne Dégustation!
PS: When I was younger I used to call them “little mirrors” because the jam in the middle would always shine!

I have fond memories of this kind of cookie – they´re called ox-eye cookies at home, and were made with currant jelly…..all year long, but especially in season as a variety of Christmas cookie! A beautiful eye catcher!
Thank you Sabine 🙂 Nice to see we both share good memories. Take care !
j’aime la décor et les photos LINDA c’est parfait 😉
Issalmek Safou 🙂 Il sont bien bons avec un cafe au lait!
Oh my gorgeous biscuits Linda. It’s funny that you didn’t call them cookies. In India, we call biscuits to all the cookies.
Thank you Sonal! Another similarity with India culture, this is becoming never ending? I love it 🙂
And I get pleasantly surprised every time I see a similarity too :).
these cookies are yummy! I make them for my children
Thank you Simi, I make them for myself 😀 (and my children too of course).

Hi, Linda! These biscuits are so gorgeous! I was just thinking of making biscuits with jam. I wonder if I could use all-purpose flour. What do you think?

Ohhh!! I love your cookies! What a gorgeous treat to bring to Fiesta Friday! In Switzerland we make these for Christmas season and we call them “Spitzbuben”, which means something like a naughty boy (I have no clue why though and what the connection is to cookies??). Anyways, they are seriously my favorite cookies of all times!! thanks for sharing with us today!! hugs

These biscuits are sooooo beautifully made! I use to make jam biscuits but much more rustic way (or childish way, if I was honest). I have fond memories. Oh, I love to eat one of your biscuits now.
Thank you so much Weebirdiecafe 🙂 They are sweet and so tasty, I used to make them when I was young with the help of my mother (fun) you can make any shape that you want!
