Critical Success Points

  • Do not over‑work the dough after adding the egg.
  • Chill the dough at least 2 hours before rolling out.
  • Cook the jam until it thickens sufficiently (about 30 min).
  • Make the skull cuts before baking to prevent the dough from softening.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely before adding powdered sugar and jam.

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful of burns when cooking the jam and the hot oven.
  • Use sharp knives with caution when cutting.
