Homemade Flower Cookies

Super easy to make and lots of fun for kids. They are very easy to make!

Directions

Preheat oven to 200 C degrees.

Mix baking powder and flour, sift well.

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar, beat well .

Add

1/2 of the beaten egg and vanilla, beat well. Then, mix in the flour

mixture. It will be stiff so you may want to stir with a wooden spoon.

Cover the dough and refrigerate for one hour or until easy to handle.

On a well-floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thickness using a rolling pin.

You

need three cookie cutters for this (one flower shaped cookie cutter

that is about 2 -1/2 inches across, the second needs to be a circle

that is about 1 inch across, and the third should be a circle that is

about 3/4 inch across).

Using the flower shaped cookie

• cutter, cut 15 cookies. Next using the second round shaped cookie
• cutter, cut 15 more round cookies. After that, take the round cookies
• and cut a round shape out of the middle of that cookie using the third

cutter. Now separate the middle, smallest size round.

Next

brush the medium sized cookie circle with some of the remaining beaten

egg, then place that over the top of the flower cookie.

Place

cookies in a greased muffin tray. Place one tablespoon of jam in the

middle of the inner circle of each cookie. Bake 8 minutes until light

golden. I have done this in the photo above.

Serve and enjoy.
