Tyttebærsyltetøy Lingonberry Jam Filled Cookies

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

5. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out rounds of dough.

6. Place half of the dough rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each. Spoon a small amount of lingonberry jam onto the center of each round.

7. Using the remaining dough rounds, gently press them on top of the jam-filled rounds, sealing the edges together to form cookies.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Once cooled, you can dust the cookies with confectioners' sugar for a festive touch, if desired.
