Cutouts
Preheat the oven to 170°C / 338°F fan and line two baking trays with baking paper.
Spread some flour on the work surface and roll out 1/3 of the dough to 3 mm / 1/8 inch. Keep the remaining dough in the fridge until needed.
Cut out Easter cookies using the cookie cutter. Always make sure that there are the same number of cookies with and without the Easter motif so that there are no problems when assembling.
Bake the cut-out cookies for 10-12 minutes.
Once baked, transfer to a cooling rack and leave to cool.
Assemble
Spread some of the apricot jam onto the cookies without the Easter motif.
Then place the cookies with the Easter motif on top and press them together lightly.
Arrange the filled cookies, dust them with powdered sugar, and serve.
Notes
You can also bake the two trays at the same time. Just make sure that you swap the trays halfway through baking (approx. 6 minutes) so that all the cookies are baked evenly.
