Make sure the cookies are incredibly tender, crumbly, and quick and easy to cook with the ingredients available.

Ingredients

• Wheat flour 550-570 g
• Butter 250 g
• Salt 0.5 tsp
• Sugar 200 g
• Chicken eggs 2 pcs.
• Baking powder 1 tsp
• Any jam 300 g

Directions

1. We will prepare all the ingredients and the work table. First you need to melt 250 g of butter. We send the oil to a saucepan and melt it over low heat so that the oil does not burn. Then cool the melted butter to room temperature. Good quality margarine can be used instead of butter.
2. Pour the butter into a deep bowl and add 200 g of sugar to it. You can reduce the amount of sugar if your jam is fairly sweet, or if you just want to reduce the sweetness of the cookie. Vanilla sugar can be added for flavor.
3. Next, add 0.5 tsp. salt. If you are using margarine, which tends to have a salty taste, you do not need to add salt.
4. Drive in two eggs and mix all the ingredients well. This can be done with a whisk, or you can use kitchen helpers: mixer, blender.
5. Sift 275 g of flour into a lush, homogeneous creamy mass.
6. Add 1 tsp. baking powder, and mix well.
7. Then sift another 275 g of flour and knead soft and elastic dough. You may need a little more flour, the main thing is that the dough does not stick to your hands, but also does not become tough, otherwise you will not be able to roll the dough well, and the cookies will turn out tough.
8. Cut off the third part from the finished dough, put it in a food bag or wrap it in cling film and put it in the freezer for 15 - 20 minutes. The longer the dough is in the freezer, the better it will freeze and the easier it will be to grate.
9. Roll out the remaining dough over the entire area of ​​the baking sheet. It is more convenient to roll out the dough on baking paper, and then immediately transfer it to a baking sheet with the paper. It is necessary to make low sides so that the jam does not leak out during baking.
10. On a rolled out layer of dough, spread 300 g of any jam that you like to taste, and distribute it evenly. You can use jam, fresh, frozen berries, or chopped fruits.S
11. We take out the frozen dough from the freezer and rub it on top of the jam with an even layer on a coarse grater.
12. We put the baking sheet in a preheated oven to 180 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes until light golden brown.
13. We take out the finished cookies from the oven and cut them into portioned pieces: these can be squares, rhombuses, stripes. We serve cookies with tea, coffee, milk, juice or any other drink. Bon Appetit!
