Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough

  • 100 g butter softened
  • 45 g powdered sugar
  • 35 g whole egg beaten
  • 170 g low-gluten flour
  • 20 g almond flour
  • 1 g salt

Filling & Decoration

  • 50 g white chocolate
  • Strawberry jam as needed
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Make the Cookie Dough

  • Place the softened butter in a large bowl and mix with a silicone spatula until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and continue mixing until fully incorporated and slightly fluffy.
  • Add the beaten egg in 2–3 additions, mixing well after each addition until the mixture is fully emulsified before adding more.
  • Sift in the low-gluten flour and almond flour, then add the salt. Gently mix by hand until no dry flour remains and a smooth, non-sticky dough forms. Do not overwork the dough.

Freeze and Shape

  • Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out evenly to about 0.5 cm thick. Transfer the dough (with the parchment) onto a baking tray and freeze for 30 minutes, until firm.
  • Once chilled, use a round cookie cutter to cut out cookies. For half of them, use a smaller cutter to remove the center, creating the cut-out tops. Leave the remaining cookies whole.
  • Arrange all cookies on a parchment-lined baking tray, leaving about 2 cm of space between each.

Bake and Cool

  • Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F), top and bottom heat. Bake the cookies on the middle rack for 20 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, dust the cut-out cookies lightly with powdered sugar if desired.

Melt the Chocolate and Assemble

  • Melt the white chocolate gently over a double boiler, keeping the water temperature below 60°C (140°F), and stir until smooth.
  • Pipe or spread a thin ring of white chocolate around the edge of a whole cookie. Place a cut-out cookie on top, align carefully, and gently press to secure. Let sit for about 5 minutes until the chocolate sets.
  • Once set, fill the center cut-out with strawberry jam. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
