From the kitchen of Jaime Barkwell. These filled
Dutch almond cookies are called Gevulde Koeken.
They are filled with almond filling, brushed with egg
and baked until golden.
Mix together:
500 g flour (4 c)
250 g brown sugar (1 c + 2Tbsp packed)
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
Cut in:
400 g butter (3 1/2 sticks or 1 3/4 c)
Refrigerate at least 30 min, but not overnight.
Add flour if dough is too sticky.
Roll dough on a floured surface.
Cut into circles using a glass.
Place circles on cookie sheet.
Add a spoonful of almond filling (canned) to each
circle.
Top with another circle of dough.
Seal cookie together by pressing a fork into sides- all
around each cookie.
Top each cookie with an almond slice.
Whisk an egg.
Brush each cookie top with egg wash.
Bake @ 350 for 22-30 mins.
Roll a portion at a time
on a floured surface.
Use a glass or cookie
cutter.
Add a generous
spoonful of almond
filling. Top with
another circle.
Use the tines of a fork
to seal the dough
together.
Brush with whisked
egg. Top with an
almond slice.
Golden and delicious.
