Directions

1. Step

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, melted butter, vanilla sugar (or lemon zest), and eggs. Mix thoroughly until smooth. Add the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt gradually, mixing until a soft dough forms.

2. Step

Shape the dough into small balls. Use your thumb or a utensil to create a small indent in the center of each ball. Place the dough balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until lightly golden.

3. Step

Once baked and cooled, fill the center of each cookie with peach jam. Optionally, you can mix the peach jam with shredded coconut for added texture. For variation, use cherry or strawberry jam in some cookies to create a colorful assortment.
