Directions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, vanilla, and salt. Add the butter and mix with your hands until the mixture resembles a crumbly texture. Add the egg yolk, yogurt (or sour cream), and milk. Mix well to form a soft dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
-
Blend the raisins and almonds in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a pan, add sugar, and mix well over low heat. Set aside.
-
Remove the dough from the fridge and divide it into 16 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a small disc. Place 1 spoonful of the raisin-almond mixture in the center. Fold and seal the edges, then shape the dough into a flower shape. Poke a hole in the center and design the edges as desired. Arrange the shaped cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the cookies for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Fill the center hole with jam or marmalade. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
