Ingredients

• Butter or margarine 180 g
• Eggs 2 pcs.
• Granulated sugar 0.5 stack
• Wheat flour 2-2.5 stacks
• Soda 0.5 tsp
• Vinegar 1 tbsp. l.
• Salt pinch
• Grapefruit zest 0.5 table. l.
• Strawberry jam 1 stack.

Directions

1. Break 2 eggs into a bowl, pour 0.5 cups of sugar into it and beat with a whisk until smooth. Then add a pinch of salt.
2. Pre-melt butter (180 g) or margarine in the microwave. If you don't have a microwave, it doesn't matter. The butter can be melted in a water bath. To do this, cut it into pieces and put it in a bowl. Then take a saucepan with a larger diameter than the bowl, pour water into it and place it on the stove. Put a bowl of butter in water. Bring the water to a boil and, stirring with a spoon, melt the butter. Then cool it down to room temperature. Pour the cooled melted butter into a bowl with eggs and sugar.
3. Pour baking soda (0.5 teaspoon) into a small cup. Pour 1 tablespoon of vinegar there and extinguish the soda. This is done so that the taste and smell of soda is not heard in the finished product. Put the extinguished soda in a bowl with eggs and sugar. Beat everything with a whisk.
4. Sift the flour (2-2.5 cups) into a separate bowl so that there are no lumps and so that the dough turns out to be more fluffy. Gradually add the sifted flour to a bowl with eggs and sugar and knead the dough. First with a whisk, and when it begins to thicken - with your hands. Our dough turns out to be quite fat, but not thick, not clogged, so that the cookies turn out to be tender.
5. We roll the dough into a sausage and divide it into two parts, but not equal. We put the smaller part on a plate and send it to the freezer for about 15 minutes.
6. We need to put most of the dough on a baking sheet. To do this, cut out the parchment paper to the size of the baking sheet, but do not put it directly on the baking sheet, but put it on the table. On the table, gently, slowly distribute our dough over the entire surface of the parchment paper.
7. Then we take the paper with the dough and carefully transfer it to a baking sheet.
8. Put 0.5 tablespoon of grapefruit zest on the surface of the dough. You can replace it with orange or lemon zest (whichever you prefer), and then your cookie will have a citrus flavor.
9. Put 1 cup of strawberry jam on top, spreading it evenly over the surface of the dough on a baking sheet. You can take any jam to your taste. For those who love sour baked goods, you can take blackcurrant or dogwood jam
10. We take out a smaller part of the dough from the freezer and rub it on a coarse grater directly over the baking sheet. That is, you need to lay the grated dough on top, distributing it in an even layer.
11. In an oven preheated to 180 degrees, put a baking sheet for 20-25 minutes. After 25 minutes, remove the cookies from the oven. It remains to give it the appearance of a cookie, that is, cut into pieces while still warm and put on a dish. The cookie is ready.
