Ingredients

  • 200 g Nuts, hazelnuts

  • 150 g Flour, rice

  • 100 g Sugar, white

  • 150 g Butter, unsalted

  • 1 piece Egg, fresh

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla, extract, natural

  • 0.25 teaspoons Spices, cinnamon, ground

  • pieces Lemon zest, fresh

  • pieces Marmalade, orange

  • pieces Powdered sugar

Steps

  1. In a bowl, mix ground hazelnuts, rice flour, and sugar. Add the cubed butter and all other ingredients except the jam. Knead the dough, which will be very soft.

  2. Divide the dough in half and wrap each portion in plastic wrap. Shape it into a square, as thin as possible, wrap it in the foil, and place it in the freezer for half an hour. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

  3. Take one portion of dough from the freezer and place it on a baking paper dusted with rice flour. Dust the surface of the dough as well, then cover it with another piece of baking paper and quickly roll it out. Use a cutter to shape the dough into roses, cutting holes in the center of half of the roses.

  4. Place the roses on a baking sheet, using a spatula if needed. Once the baking sheet is filled with cookies, bake them in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

  5. Re-shape the leftover dough, wrap it in foil, and place it back in the freezer. Repeat the process until all the dough is used.

  6. Once the roses have cooled, spread jam on the bottom halves (without holes) and cover them with the top halves (with holes). Gently press the cookies together to stick. Dust the prepared roses with powdered sugar if desired and serve.
