Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make shortbread with jam? Prepare your food. Sift the flour first; this will not only remove any possible debris, but also saturate it with oxygen, which will make the baked goods airier. Choose high-quality butter, without additives, that complies with GOST. The taste of the finished cookies will depend on this. Any jam will do, but it’s better if it’s thick. Add a little starch to the liquid jam.
