Instructions

Step 1
  • Put all the ingredients for the dough in a food processor. Mix the dough and put it in a bowl and leave to rest for at least 30 minutes. Hat the oven to 175 ° and bake the dough.
Step 2
  • Jam cookies: Roll small balls of dough and put them on baking trays lined with baking paper. Make a hollow in each cookie and put a teaspoon of jam into each hollow. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 10 minutes.
Step 3
  • Brussels biscuits: Roll out the dough to about 4 cm wide. Roll the lengths in the caster sugar coloured with the red food colouring. Leave for about 1 hour. Cut the lengths into about 1 cm thin slices and put them on baking trays lined with baking paper. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 8 minutes.
Step 4
  • Finnish sticks: Roll out the dough into finger thick lengths. Place them tightly together. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with finely chopped almonds and pearl sugar. Cut the lengths into 4 cm long pieces. Put them on baking trays with baking paper and bake in the middle of the oven for about 10 minutes.
Step 5
  • Pistachio cookies: Roll out the dough to a 2-3 mm thickness. Cut out 6 cm diameter circles. Fold the cookies almost in half. Put them on a baking tray lined with baking paper and brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with finely chopped pistachio nuts and pearl sugar. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 10 minutes.
Enjoy!
