Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 unit large egg
- 2 tablespoons water (ice cold)
- 0.5 cup fruit preserves or jam (e.g., raspberry, apricot, or strawberry)
- 0.25 cups powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter into the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla extract, and ice cold water.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently knead the dough until it just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Using a square or round cookie cutter (about 2 inches in diameter), cut the dough into even shapes. You should have an even number of cutouts.
Place half of the cutouts on the prepared baking sheet and spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of fruit preserves or jam onto the center of each piece.
Top each filled piece with another cutout, gently pressing the edges together to seal. Use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the tops with powdered sugar for an optional finishing touch.
Serve and enjoy your beautifully sweet Ravioli Cookies!
