Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups (300 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) cake and pastry flour
  • 1 cup (2 sticks or 250 g) butter or margarine
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup (200 ml) sour cream
  • 1 package of vanilla sugar

For the filling:

  • 1 1/4 cups (150 g) grounded poppy-seed
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) caster sugar
  • 2/3 cup (150 ml) milk
  • 1 package of vanilla sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (25 g) semolina

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cake and pastry flour, and salt.
  • Cut in the butter or margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add the sour cream, egg, and vanilla sugar. Knead the mixture until it forms a soft dough.
  • Roll the dough into a plastic wrap and refrigerate. For best results, let it rest in the fridge for several hours or preferably overnight.

2. Make the Poppyseed Filling:

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, caster sugar, and vanilla sugar. Heat until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Stir in the grounded poppy-seed and semolina.
  • Cook the mixture, stirring continuously, until it thickens to a creamy consistency.
  • Remove from heat and allow it to cool.

3. Assemble the Cookies:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about a 1/4-inch thickness.
  • Cut out desired shapes using a cookie cutter or knife.
  • Place a small spoonful of the poppyseed filling in the center of each cut-out.
  • Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal.
  • Place the assembled cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

4. Bake and Serve:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
