Directions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and sunflower oil, mixing well. Gradually add the baking powder and flour, kneading until the dough comes together into a soft, pliable consistency.
-
Roll the dough into a ball and flatten it slightly. Using a round cookie cutter, cut the dough into individual pieces. Coat each piece lightly with granulated sugar. Place a small dollop of peach jam in the center of each piece, then fold the edges slightly over the jam.
-
Decorate the tops of the cookies as desired, then arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 12–15 minutes or until lightly golden.
