Jam Cookies with Meringue
A holiday table should not be without cookies, especially these jam cookies with meringue. A tender and aromatic cookie dough is complemented by a sweet and sour fruit jam. The dessert is completed by a white layer of sweet and crunchy meringue. A dessert to die for, especially if you choose the flavors carefully.
For these cookies, I chose a combination of almond and clementine flavors, while the jam is blueberry. A real winter scent. The result is particularly good, elegant, and delicate.

Instructions
How to make JAM COOKIES WITH MERINGUE:
- Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt.
- When you have a firm foam, start adding the sugar gradually, one tablespoon at a time.
- Mix until the sugar is completely incorporated into the egg whites.
- Put the meringue in a piping bag.
- Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Preheat the oven to 100 degrees Celsius (210 Fahrenheit).
- Pipe the meringue into rounds.
- Put the meringue in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, until crispy on the outside.
- Turn off the heat and leave the meringue in the oven to cool.
Cookies:
- Mix the soft, room temperature butter with the powdered sugar until creamy, about 10 minutes.
- Add the egg yolks and clementine juice and continue mixing until smooth. Turn off the mixer.
- Mix the flour with the almond flour, salt, and vanilla pod seeds.
- Put the dry ingredients on top of the buttercream and incorporate with a spoon.
- If the dough is too soft, add another tablespoon or two of flour.
- Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
- Divide the dough into 2 pieces.
- Roll out one piece into a 0.3cm (0.12 inch) thin sheet.
- The other piece of dough is chilled again.
- Cut out cookie shapes of different sizes.
- Place the cookies on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Bake for 12-13 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges. Do the same with the rest of the dough.
