Assembly and baking
Βήμα 1
Shape dough into a log and cut into 24 equal pieces. Shape one piece dough into an oval ball and press with your fingers to shape a trough in the centre lengthwise. Then, weigh 15 g of filling and shape into a log 9 cm long. Place the log into the trough of the dough and cover the filling with the dough from the sides. Shape again into a log to make sure there is no seam. Shape into an oblong butter cookie, place onto the oven tray you have prepared and bend the sides slightly to form a half moon shape. Repeat with remaining dough and filling and bake 20 min (150 C).
Βήμα 2
Leave to cool down for 10 minutes and sprinkle with 10 g blossom water and icing sugar. Place on a cooling rack and serve when cool.
