PREPARATION
DOUGH
- in a bowl add butter and sugar

- crack an egg into a bowl, then mix thoroughly until combined
- add poppy seeds and honey, then mix again thoroughly until combined
- add all-purpose flour, corn flour, and a pinch of salt – then stir briefly just until crumbs are obtained
CUTTING OUT COOKIES
- sprinkle the working surface with all-purpose flour
- knead the dough briefly on a working surface, just until it’s uniform and smooth – sprinkle with more all-purpose flour if it’s too sticky, or add 1-2 Tbsp of water if it’s not sticky enough to form a uniform dough
- halve the dough and sprinkle with all-purpose flour, then roll out one part of the dough thinly
- cut out small cookies (of 5cm diameter) and then roll the rest of the dough and cut out more cookies
- arrange cookies on a baking tray (you can line it with baking paper), leaving few cm gaps beetween them
BAKING
- transfer cookies to the oven preheated to 175°C/350°F and bake for about 10-12 min until slightly browned on the edges (if they’re bigger than 5cm diameter, bake them a little longer)
- transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely
ASSEMBLY
- spread cherry jam on one cookie, then cover with a second cookie
- repeat with the rest of the cookies and let rest for 1-2 hours to let flavours and texture develop
