STEP 7 — Cool the cookies completely and store in an airtight container. Then it will remain soft.

These cookies are close to kurabiye, though not quite the same. I worried the dough would be difficult to pipe, but it was soft, released easily from the nozzle and held its shape in the oven. I filled the centers with thick apricot jam blended until smooth.

INSTRUCTIONS

Beat very soft margarine (but not melted!) into a fluffy mass. Add powdered sugar and beat again.

Beat in the vanilla essence and egg white until completely incorporated and smooth.

STEP 3 — Add sifted flour with baking powder. And use a spatula to knead the dough. I no longer use a mixer at this stage. The dough should be very thick, but quite flexible.
