Presentation
Cookies shaped like round tortelli, made with a dough consisting of flour, butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, lemon zest, salt, and baking powder, with a filling of apples, honey, and cinnamon.

Ingredients
For the dough:

• 350 g of flour
• 120 g of butter
• 110 g of sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 vanilla bean / 1 packet of vanilla powder
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder

For the filling:

• 2 apples
• 1 and a half tablespoons of honey
• A sprinkle of cinnamon

Preparation
Wash the apples, peel them, remove the cores, and cut them into cubes in a small pot. Add the honey, cinnamon, and cook for about 20 minutes or until the liquid has absorbed, making the apple pieces soft.
Blend the mixture into a puree.

Place the flour on a work surface, add the cold butter in cubes, and work it with the tips of your fingers until you get a “sandy” texture.
Incorporate the baking powder, grated lemon zest, eggs, sugar, vanilla/vanilla powder, and a pinch of salt.
Mix everything until a compact dough forms.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

After resting, roll the dough out on a floured surface, either as one large piece or in separate portions.
Roll out the dough to about half a centimeter thick and cut it with a cookie cutter or small glass to form discs about 6-7 cm in diameter.
The number of discs should be even so that each pair forms one cookie.

Place a teaspoon of the apple filling on one disc of dough, smooth it slightly, and seal it with another disc, pressing along the edges to ensure the discs stick together and the filling doesn’t spill during baking.
Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the center of a preheated static oven at 160-170°C for about 25-30 minutes.
Once baked, remove from the oven, let cool, and serve.
