Ingredients
  

  • 200 g unsalted butter at room temperature

  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp orange zest
  • jam of choice

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, place the butter and flour and mix with your hands until you reach a sand like consistency
  • Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, egg, zest, and mix with your hands until the dough can hold shape
  • Knead into a ball, wrap in plastic foil and chill in fridge for 30 mins minimum
  • Once chilled, get two baking sheets and roll the dough between them (2cm thickness)
  • Cut out shape of choice, making sure you have an even number of cookies
  • Leave half cookies as is and the rest make a hole in the middle
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 180 for around 10 mins or until they slightly change color, do not overbake so they don't get crunchy
