Hilda Rolls

Hilda rolls (German: Hildabrötchen) are German sandwich cookies filled with jam. They are very similar to, and perhaps interchangeable with, Linzer cookies.

Method

  1. 1

    Knead the flour, butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, and egg into a dough. Chill for a while.

  2. 2

    Roll out the dough to about ¼ cm thick.

  3. 3

    Cut round cookies out of the dough. For half the cookies, cut a small shape out of the middle—these will be the tops.

  4. 4

    Place the cookies on a greased tray and bake at 150°C for about 20 minutes. Let cool.

    Oven
  5. 5

    Combine the powdered sugar and water to make a smooth icing. Carefully dip the top cookies in the icing to coat one face.

  6. 6

    Spread some jam on the bottom layer cookies. Top with the iced cutout cookies.
