- 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.
