Window Cookies

Window cookies can be made in any shape or size that you want. They can also be made out of several different kinds of dough. This is a kind of cookie that is two layers sandwiched with some kind of filling that is exposed through a hole on the top layer. They can then be decorated or topped decoratively however you want. This is one example of the application.


Petits Four: Petits four sec, petits four demi sec
Formula: yields roughly 20 cookies

• 1lb pâte sablée dough
• 4 oz. apricot filling
• 4 oz. powdered sugar

MOP:

• Roll out dough to 1/4" thick
• Cut out circles (or any other shape you choose) with a 2" cutter.
• Place on a parchment lined sheet pan and chill to relax the gluten and prevent shrinkage.
• When the dough is chilled pick half of the shapes and cut out a smaller hole in the dough.
• Bake at 350°F for approximately 7-10 minutes or until just golden on edges.
• Cool.

• When cooled, dust the cut out cookie with powdered sugar. 
• Fill the bottom cookie leaving the edges unfilled to compensate for spillover and then sandwich the top cookie on top, fitting snugly.
