  • 50 g powdered sugar
  • 1/3 tsp salt
  • 200 g butter

  • 100 g sugar

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.
  • Leave the cookies to cool on a cooling rack.

Assemble:

  • Put a layer of jam on the bottom of each cookie.
  • Carefully place a meringue on top.
  • Press gently to make it stick.
  • Place small star or flower-shaped cookies on top, and serve!
