Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 50 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams cornstarch
- 100 grams jam (raspberry or apricot recommended)
- 10 grams powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together using an electric mixer until pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
Sift in the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Mix until a smooth and slightly firm dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe small rosettes or circles onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 cm apart.
Using the back of a spoon or your fingertip, slightly indent the center of each cookie to create space for the jam filling.
Place the baking sheets into the fridge to chill for 10 minutes. This helps the cookies hold their shape during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once cooled, spoon a small amount of jam into the indentation of each cookie.
Dust the Viennese Tarts lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
