Ingredients
  

Cookie Batter
  • 200 g butter (about 7 oz)
  • 100 g sugar (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 300 g all-purpose flour (about 2 1/2 cups)
  • 1 packet baking powder (about 1 tablespoon)
Toppings
  • 200 g cherry jam (about 1 cup)
  • 100 g dark chocolate (about 3.5 oz)
  • 50 g powdered sugar (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon water

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugar, and salt. Beat them together until you achieve a creamy consistency.
  2. Gradually add the eggs to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition until fully combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder. Carefully fold this flour mixture into the butter and egg blend until just combined.
Baking
  1. Transfer the light batter into a pre-greased baking dish and smooth the surface evenly.
  2. Spread the cherry jam evenly over the batter, ensuring it covers the base well.
  3. Crumble the remaining batter on top of the jam layer, creating a textured topping.
  4. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Finishing Touches
  1. Once cooled, chop the dark chocolate and pour it over the cookies, allowing it to melt and create a delicious glaze.
  2. To make a simple icing, mix the powdered sugar with water until smooth, then drizzle it over the cookies for an extra touch of sweetness.

Notes

These cookies are perfect for any occasion! Serve them with coffee or tea. For a festive touch, consider adding a sprinkle of grated chocolate or crushed nuts over the top before serving.
