Grandma's angel eyes - an early taste of Christmas :)

ANGEL EYES  

As you most likely found out by now is that I'm not a big fan of sweet stuff...but those cookies is a culinary memory of my childhood. Those cookies melt in the mouth and make your entire house smell like Christmas.

Here’s what you need!

The dough:

2 vanilla beans
150 g butter, soft
2 yolks
75 g raw cane sugar
1 pinch of salt
225 g flour, gluten-free

The filling:
400 g blueberries
honey to taste
lemon to taste

Here’s what you do!

The filling:

• Mix the blueberries with the honey and boil until you get a smooth consistence and add lemon to taste
• set aside to cool down

The cookies:

• Split the vanilla bean down its length, scrape out the seeds

• Mix them immediately with the soft butter, honey (or sugar), egg yolks and the pinch of salt
• Add the flour, marzipan and the sliced almonds until you get a smooth dough
• Wrap it in foil and put in the fridge to rest for about 2 hours.
• Form equally sized balls, set them on the baking tray (not too close to each other cause they expand!)
• Poke holes in the balls (works awesomely with the handle of a wooden spoon) and fill them with the blueberry filling
• Bake for about 12 – 15 minutes (200 °C, preheated, top-/ bottom heat)
• Let them cool down, dredge them with powdered sugar and let them cool off completely
• Enjoy :)
