8 Egg yolk or kitchen machine ¾ cup Powdered sugar 2 teaspoon Vanilla sugar 1 Pinch Salt 1 cup Cake flour 2 teaspoon Jam currant, apricot, or strawberry ¼ cup Dark chocolate couverture
Preheat the oven to 356 °F // 180 °C top/bottom heat.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
Grab a mixing bowl. Add the yolks, powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt.
¾ cup Powdered sugar, 2 teaspoon Vanilla sugar, 1 Pinch Salt, 8 Egg yolk
Mix the ingredients with an electric hand mixer together until the mixture is light yellow and fluffy.
Sift the flour through a close-meshed sieve and gently fold it into the yolk mixture.
1 cup Cake flour
Fill the egg yolk batter into a piping bag.
Once the piping bag is full, cut off the tip and start piping small dots or drops onto the already prepared baking sheets.
Once both trays are covered with droplets of dough, put the tray in the oven and bake on the middle rack for 8-10 minutes.
Let them cool before you start assembling them.
Take two cookies at a time, and assemble them with the jam.
2 teaspoon Jam
Chocolate Decoration Melt the chocolate in a water bath, microwave, or tempering device.
¼ cup Dark chocolate couverture
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the assembled cookies.
Once the chocolate is solid, you can store the cookies in an airtight container lined with baking paper.
