How to Make Angel Eyes Engelsaugen

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ½ cup icing sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg yolk and 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar.
  4. Gradually add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  7. Place the balls onto the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between each.
  8. Using your finger, gently make a small indentation in the center of each ball.
  9. Fill each indentation with about ½ teaspoon raspberry jam.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  11. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
  12. Melt 4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate. Dip the bottom of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate and let it set on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
