Hey Nathalie here. Today I'm going to show you how
to make Jam Filled Sandwich Cookies. Just in case you don't have yet a dessert for the holidays. And
they are so good, gluten-free, certainly that they will not only outshine their glutinous cousins
but will make everybody think it's the real deal. It smells like the holidays everywhere. I see
cookies right and left, every type and every kind, and my inner cookie monster rejoices. And with all
those cookies around me I feel the peer pressure! All the cooking channels have a cookie,
so I need to make a cookie as well! But which one?! After I sent out a survey to
my friends and family to decide which cookie, I settled on Hilda Broetchen or Spitzbuben , or in
English, Jam Filled Sandwich Cookies. In Germany, it's definitely more of a Christmas thing. But
in the English-speaking country, apparently, they can be consumed anytime. And just for my
friends who have always made fun of the long German words. This is a very long English word.
And it is for a cookie.
Let's get started though on this really simple and very delicious cookie
recipe. The cookie dough is really a mixture between shortbread and sugar cookie dough. In
German, it's simply called Muerbeteig. For the gluten-free cookie flour combo, you want to
measure 100 grams of Millet Flour 100 grams of Oat Flour 100 grams of White Rice Flour, and
150 grams of Potato Flour not Potato Starch, Potato Flour which is dehydrated potatoes.
Add 160 gram, a three-quarter cup of sugar 300 grams or one and a third cup of butter or
vegan substitute, which you want to cut up into small cubes. That will help mixing the dough a
lot. Add one egg or one flax seed egg as a vegan substitute. You can start mixing the dough now
with a spatula or by hand. I prefer by hand because you can break down the butter with your
fingers and make sure the dough starts to stick together. Butter and dough crumbles are starting
to form. It's getting tough kneading the dough in the bowl. So i'm gonna pour the content onto
my working surface and continue kneading until my dough becomes one smooth dough ball.
I'm gonna
let the dough rest for 30 minutes in the fridge. I'm gonna start rolling out the dough. I'm gonna
rip up two of the parchment papers and roll out the dough between both sheets. The dough should be
half a centimeter or a quarter-inch thick and if you have some of those Santa little helpers they
are kind of very helpful for this now. I have to find two cookie cutters. One has to be a little
bit smaller than the other one. Just that we have a little bit of a cutout. The cutout is really to
highlight the jam which is inside of the cookie. Now it's time to cut out all the cookies and
make sure that half the cookies have a cutout. With a cake spatula move the cookies onto a baking
sheet. Bake the cookies at 300 degrees Fahrenheit or 165 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes. You want
to see that the edges are a little bit browned. Let the cookies cool down completely.
Pick your favorite jam, put it in a bowl, and then with a cake spatula or butter knife
spread the jam onto the backside of the cookie so the pretty side looks outwards.
And place
on the top one of the cookies with the cut-out. You want to let the jam in the cookies dry
overnight. The next morning you can sprinkle powdered sugar on the top of the cookies. Flip
the cookies around and add some more powdered sugar to the backside of the cookies. Now your
jam-filled sandwich cookies are ready to be served or picked up. I put in the video description the
recipe, the ingredients, and local places where you can buy them. And if you enjoyed the video,
