Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, soft unsalted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, egg, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix until a smooth dough forms. Wrap the dough in cling film and chill in the refrigerator for 30–60 minutes.
- While the dough chills, prepare the white chocolate cream. In a saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a gentle boil, then pour over the white chocolate, stirring until smooth. Cover and chill until firm.
- Preheat your oven to 160°C fan (180°C conventional). Roll out the chilled dough to 3-4mm thickness, cut out circles, and cut holes in half. Bake for 10–12 minutes until firm to the touch. Cool on a wire rack.
- Melt the dark or milk chocolate, dip cookie halves, and sprinkle chopped chocolate on top. Whip the chilled white chocolate cream until fluffy.
- Pipe the whipped cream around the base cookies, fill with cherry jam, and top with window cookies. Let sit briefly before serving.
