Directions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
