7-10 Tbsp Preparation for about 35 pieces:
250 g Flour
65 g Sugar
1 pinch Salt
7-10 Tbsp grated rind of 1 untreated lemon
1 egg (size M)
125 g Half-fat butter (e.g. you may)
150 g sugar-reduced strawberry jam (e.g. Du darfst)
7-10 Tbsp Flour
baking paper

Directions

1
Put flour, sugar, salt, lemon zest and egg in a bowl. Spread the fat in flakes and knead into a dough. Roll out the dough on a floured work surface and cut out about 60 fir trees (approx. 4 cm high).
2
Cut out the middle of half the cookies with a smaller fir tree cutter. Knead the rest of the dough, roll out again and cut out until the whole dough is used up. Place the cookies on 3 baking trays lined with baking paper.
3
Bake the trays one after the other in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for approx. 12 minutes. Remove and let cool off. Pass the jam through a sieve and spread it on fir trees.
4
Place the cut out fir trees on top and let them set.
