First, measure out and sift 420 g of flour.
Add 200 g of icing sugar, 2 packets of vanilla sugar, grated zest of 1 lemon and 50 g of ground poppy seeds.
Add 300 g room temperature butter and mix until crumbly. You can add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon or even a few pinches of cardamom, the variations are endless.
When you are done, add 2 eggs and knead until it forms a ball.
Wrap in cellophane and refrigerate for half an hour. I stretch it out a little at this point to make it easier to continue after the fridge.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface. Then cut out into any shape you like.
Place the cut-out shapes on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 10-12 minutes.
When they are baked, we wait for them to cool a bit and then we spread them with jam and glue them together.
