Servings: 15 pieces
Course: Cookies
Cuisine: Home cooking

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g flour
  • 60 g sugar
  • 100 g margarine cold
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp lemon juice to activate the soda
  • 100 g apricot jam
  • 50 g peanuts chopped
  • 50 g chocolate for decoration

Method
 

  1. Put flour in a deep bowl, add the baking soda activated with lemon juice, and pieces of margarine. Cut with a knife or rub by hand into fine crumbs.
  2. Crack in the egg, add the mayonnaise and sugar. Knead the dough and gather it into a ball.
  3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and divide into 3 parts. Shape each into a strip about 15 cm long, and use your fingers to form a base and raised edges - you should get rectangular 'boats'.
  4. Bake the shells for 10 minutes in an oven preheated to 180°C.
  5. Take out the strips, spoon apricot jam on top and sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
  6. Return to the oven for another 15-20 minutes at 180°C and bake until golden.
  7. Let the finished strips cool, decorate with melted chocolate drizzle and cut into pieces. Enjoy!

Notes

Shape the edges of the strips fairly high so the jam doesn't leak out during baking.
