German Husarenkrapfen Recipe | Buttery, Nutty, and Filled with Jam ❤️

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil reduces saturated fat while maintaining moisture.

apricot jam

🥗Healthier: fruit preserves

💰Cheaper: homemade jam

Fruit preserves offer lower sugar options.

powdered sugar

🥗Healthier: erythritol

💰Cheaper: granulated sugar

Erythritol is a low-calorie sweetener.

walnuts

🥗Healthier: almonds

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Almonds provide healthy fats with a different flavor.

In a large bowl, mix together flour, butter, hazelnuts, egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

Knead until a smooth dough forms, being careful not to over mix.

Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it cool in the fridge for about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll the dough into small walnut-sized balls, weighing from 15 to 20 g each, and place them on the tray with space between them.

Make a little dent in the center of each cookie using the end of a wooden spoon or your finger.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until lightly golden.

Let the cookies cool slightly, then fill them with strawberry jam using a piping bag.

Dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar.
