Mix flour, powdered sugar, and butter in small pieces until combined.

Add the egg yolk and then the egg white, or use the whole egg at once.

Work quickly with your hands or use a mixer to avoid warming the butter too much.

Wrap the dough in foil and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 0.5 cm thickness.

Cut out shapes using a flower-shaped cookie cutter, making holes in every second cookie.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

Bake the cookies for 6 to 10 minutes, checking frequently, until they smell done.

Let the cookies cool before filling them with jam.

Spread forest fruit jam on the solid cookies and top with the cut-out cookies.

Let the cookies sit at room temperature for 24 hours before serving.
