// Lactose-free pepas

Crispy and tender

Cookies that remind me of my childhood… PEPAS with strawberry and raspberry jam!! 🥰🥰

Although the traditional way is with quince paste, I make them with jam, which is how I like them the most 😋😍❤️

Ingredients

🥣170g lactose-free pomade butter

🍭90g icing sugar

🥚1 egg M @pazodevilane

🌾280g plain flour or pastry flour

🥄10g baking powder @royal_postres

🥄1tsp vanilla essence

🍓Jam of the flavor you like the most (I used strawberry and raspberry)

Elaboration

💗Beat the butter a little and add the icing sugar

🍓Add the egg and vanilla, and continue beating until well integrated.

💗Add the flour along with the baking powder. Mix and knead until forming a dough

🍓Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for 15 minutes

💗Prepare a tray with baking paper

🍓Make 30g dough balls and place them on the tray. With your thumb or a small spoon, make a well in the center and fill with a teaspoon of jam.

💗Bake at 180ºC 13min heat up and down

🍓Let it cool well on a rack (let it cool completely before eating it, I'm telling you from experience hahaha!!... the jam has to be very cold so that it doesn't spill or burn you... every time I make them the same thing happens to me. Same thing and I'm burning because I'm anxious 😋😋)

You can add any filling you want to these cookies (quince, lactose-free chocolate, lactose-free pastry cream, lemon curd,...). They are a vice, easy and quick to make… I assure you that you will love them
