Description
Tender, buttery cookies rolled with jam and dusted in sugar, perfect for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (plus more as needed)
- 2 teaspoons rapid-rise or instant yeast
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), melted and cooled to 110°F
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed to 110°F
- 2½ tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
- 1 cup berry jam or blended preserves (thick consistency)
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar (for finishing)
Instructions
- Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
- Whisk together flour, yeast, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
- In a stand mixer or large bowl, combine melted butter and warm milk. Mix on medium-low and gradually add flour mixture 1 cup at a time. Continue mixing or kneading by hand until soft, adding flour if sticky. Cover and rest 30 minutes.
- Divide dough into five pieces and cover. On a floured surface, roll one piece into a 10-inch circle, less than 1/8-inch thick.
- Sprinkle dough with ½ tablespoon granulated sugar. Cut into 12 triangles, top each with a marble-size jam portion, and roll tightly. Place cookies tail-side down 1 inch apart on prepared sheets; repeat.
- Proof in a warm place until puffed (30–45 minutes) while preheating oven to 350°F.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, rotating sheets halfway, until lightly golden. Let rest on sheets 10 minutes.
- Pour confectioners’ sugar into a bowl. Roll warm cookies in sugar and transfer to a serving tray. Stack if desired.
