Time 1h

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature, diced
1/2 cup superfine sugar (generously measured)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 egg yolks
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
3 tablespoons poppy seeds
1 tablespoon clear honey
2 tablespoons superfine sugar
1 lemon rind, finely grated
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 tablespoons water
1/3 cup ground almonds
1 medium egg, beaten
1/4 cup raisins (conservatively measured)

Steps:

  • For the dough: Beat the butter with the sugar until light and creamy. Beat in the vanilla and egg yolks. Sift over the flour, stir in, then work into a dough with your hands. Knead until smooth. Put in plastic wrap and chill while fixing the filling.
  • For the filling: Put the poppy seeds, honey, sugar, lemon rind and juice into a pan with 4 tbl water and bring to the boil, stirring. Remove from the heat and beat in the almonds, egg and raisins. Cool while working with dough.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 and line two large baking sheets with baking parchment paper. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8" thickness. Using a plain round 3" cutter, stamp out rounds.
  • Place a heaped teaspoon of filling on each round. Brush the edges with beaten egg, then bring the sides to the center to form a tricorn shape. Seal the edges together well and place on prepared baking sheets, spaced slightly apart.
  • Brush with beaten egg and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool.

These cookies were a bit bland. I think I would add more spices next time. The filling was also a bit dry.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time. The dough was a little dry, so I added a bit of water to make it more pliable.
