Method 6 steps
Knead the flour, butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, and egg into a dough. Chill for a while.
Roll out the dough to about ¼ cm thick.
Cut round cookies out of the dough. For half the cookies, cut a small shape out of the middle—these will be the tops.
Place the cookies on a greased tray and bake at 150°C for about 20 minutes. Let cool.
Combine the powdered sugar and water to make a smooth icing. Carefully dip the top cookies in the icing to coat one face.
Spread some jam on the bottom layer cookies. Top with the iced cutout cookies.
