Greek jam-filled cookies

These Greek marmalade-filled cookies were part of our Holiday Cookie book that so many of you downloaded. But jam-filled cookies are a year-round favorite and this recipe from Greek food blogger Pandora gives them a Greek island touch, thanks to the fragrant marmalades from Citrus Scent of Memory. Let us know which version you make!

Ingredients for Greek Jam-filled Cookies

For the Cookie Dough

3 cups all purpose flour

3/4 cup butter

1/3 cup sugar

100 ml kumquat liqueur (or other citrus-based liquor)

1/4 tsp salt 

For the filling

Half a jar of your favorite Citrus-flavored marmalade

Optional: Powdered sugar to decorate the cookies

How to Make Greek Jam-filled Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350F.

Mix the butter and sugar on high speed until white and creamy. Add the liqueur and keep mixing until well blended.

Add the flour and the salt and mix well until all the dry ingredients are absorbed, but be careful not to over-mix the dough.

Roll out the dough to about about 1/3” thickness and cut it with your favorite cookie cutters.

Spoon some of the marmalade in the middle of a cookie, leaving space on the edges. Place another cookie on top and press gently to seal.

Place the cookies on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees until golden brown.

When they come out of the oven, sift a light layer of powdered sugar to decorate them. Enjoy!
