Queen Cookies

Ingredients:

• 250 g flour
• 200 g sugar
• 150 g butter
• 2 Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 200 g fruit jelly
• Food coloring (red was used in this case)

Preparation:

1. To begin, mix the butter with the flour and sugar; this mixture should be heterogeneous and take on a sandy appearance.
2. Next, add the egg yolks and to this mixture, add the vanilla essence or orange zest, whichever you prefer.
3. Then, begin kneading.
4. When the dough is ready, let it rest for 30 minutes and then roll it out until you have a dough up to 1/2 thick.
5. Once rolled out, cut some circles with a crimp cutter to create the shape of the Queenitas.
6. You will need a rim made from the same dough to create a bowl-shaped crust.
7. Once this is ready, bake them in the oven for 15 minutes.
8. Remove from the oven and once cool, fill them with the fruit jelly tinted with red food coloring.
