Sugar dusted cookies with delicious jam filling are the perfect Christmas treat!
These cookies are an absolute must for Christmas season! We make them every year around Christmas, since we can remember. They are really simple, but so delicious with some jam in the middle and dusted with powdered sugar.
We filled them with cherry jam, but you can use any kind of jam you like, apricot and blueberry jam also tastes really good. They are so great to enjoy on a winter evening with a big cup of tea and some nice company.
You only need 6 ingredients to make these scrumptious cookies:
- flour,
- almond flour,
- vegan margarine,
- coconut sugar,
- vanilla sugar and
- cold water.
Simple ingredients but the end product is just amazing. They are tender, perfectly crumbly and filled with delicious jam.
