Strawberry Jam Cookies, Sablés à la Confiture de Fraises

img_0171 img_0163 img_0168Here 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:

  1. In a large bowl add the flour, the icing sugar, and the salt.
  2. Add the butter and crumble the ingredients with your fingers.
  3. Add the 2 beaten eggs with milk and mix slowly (always with your fingers), until your form a soft dough.
  4. Wrap the dough in a plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  5. Dust with the flour a clean surface.
  6. Remove the dough from the fridge.
  7. With a rolling pin, flatten the dough (0,5 centimeters thickness).
  8. Grease and flour a baking tray.
  9. Preheat the oven to 170C degrees.
  10. With cookie cutters make a circle shape.
  11. Divide the numbers of the biscuits in 2.
  12. Keep one-half whole (which will serve as the base).
  13. 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).
  14. Add the biscuits to the baking tray.
  15. 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.
  16. With a teaspoon add a little of the jam in the middle of the whole biscuits (the base).
  17. Dust with icing sugar the biscuit with a hole in the middle.
  18. 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!
