Cookies on a grater with jam

First you need to prepare a shortbread dough. Its great advantage is that it is simple and quick to prepare.

Butter should be left at room temperature in the kitchen so that it softens a little. It is worth getting it out of the refrigerator in advance, at least an hour, or better - two.

So, we put the softened butter in a deep bowl, add granulated sugar and vanilla to it. Stir everything evenly to dissolve the sugar. Thoroughly rub the mixture with a tablespoon.

Now add eggs to this mass and mix thoroughly with a mixer until a homogeneous consistency. You can mix it just with a fork or spoon.

In order for the dough to be porous and fluffy, the soda needs to be extinguished with vinegar, added to the mixture and mix everything thoroughly again.

Next, you need to sift the flour. This is necessary so that the flour is without lumps and something extraneous does not get into the dough. Also, sifting saturates the flour with oxygen and the dough (as well as the finished pastries) eventually turns out to be more lush. We leave half a cup of flour for later.

Now add flour to the mixture and mix everything thoroughly, you can - with your hands. If there are dough nozzles for the mixer, then the work will be reduced to a minimum of time and effort.

Next, we divide the dough into two parts so that one part is larger - approximately 2/3. Now add the flour that was postponed to the smaller part and mix everything until smooth. We put this part in the freezer for half an hour. This is necessary in order to make it easier to rub the dough on a grater later.

Put baking paper on a baking sheet. We spread most of the dough and spread it over the entire surface with a thin layer.

Open the jam jar and spread it evenly on the dough.

Now we take the dough out of the freezer and rub it on a coarse grater immediately on top of the jam. We send the cookies to bake in a preheated oven to 200 degrees. Cookies are baked for about 20-25 minutes.

That's it, the cookies are ready! It remains only to cut it into squares, rectangles or triangles.

Have a nice tea party!
