Czech Susenky Christmas Cookies
10 oz butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
4 cups all-purpose flour
Optional: homemade icing
Optional for Garnish: 1 jar jam and confectioner’s sugar
Preheat oven to 350°.In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the flour and mix into a smooth dough. It shouldn’t need to be refrigerated before rolling unless kitchen is very hot.
Roll dough between pieces of parchment paper to 1/8-inch thick or 3/16-inch thickness, if sandwiching cookies together.
If making sandwiched cookies, cut an even number of plain cookies and an even number of cookies of the same shape that have had a small “window” cut out with a thimble or piping tip so the jam or filling will peek through.
Remove the scraps and, grabbing the parchment paper by opposite corners, place it on a sheet pan. Bake 8 to 10 min. Do not let the cookies brown, they should remain light but still be baked through.
If sandwiching cookies together, sprinkle confectioner’s sugar over cookies with a “window.” Spread jam or filling on “window-less” cookies. Place confectioners’ sugar cookie on top of the jammed cookie. Makes 30 cookies.
