Procedure
1) Tip the flour into a bowl, then add the butter, icing sugar and the lemon zest and knead into a smooth dough.
2) Shape the dough into a ball, cover with cling film and chill overnight.
3) Remove the dough from the fridge and let it sit for 2 hours at the room temperature as this allows the dough to become pliable and easier to work with.
4) Sprinkle some flour on a clean flat worktop, and roll the dough out thinly. Using cookie cutters, cut out various Christmas cookie shapes.
5) Preheat the oven to 160°C / 140°C. Bake for about 20-25 minutes.
6) Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool. Keep half of the cookies plain and spread some jam on the other half. Sandwich the cookies together (one plain cookie with one cookie with jam on it, continue until you’ve used all the cookies). To finish off, sprinkle with some icing sugar and serve. Enjoy!
