Let's discover together the recipe for these tasty cookies, which combine the sweet essence of cherry jam with the delicacy of whipped cream, all in a fluffy and aromatic dough.

Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Number of servings: 12 cookies

Ingredients

For the dough:
- 5 fresh eggs
- 5 tablespoons of sugar
- 5 tablespoons of fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon of flour
- ½ packet of baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar

For the filling:
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 3 tablespoons of water
- 1 tablespoon of rum (optional)
- Whipped cream (approximately 200 ml)
- Cherry jam (or your favorite jam)

Preparation technique

Step 1: Preparing the ingredients
Start by washing the eggs well. Then, carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks. It is essential to ensure that no yolk remains in the egg whites, as they will not whip well if contaminated.

Step 2: The yolk cream
In a large bowl, beat the yolks with the 5 tablespoons of sugar until they become a light-colored, creamy, and fluffy foam. This step is crucial, as it will determine the final texture of the cookies. Then add the breadcrumbs, flour mixed with baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gently mix with a spatula to obtain a uniform dough.

Step 3: Whip the egg whites
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until they form a firm meringue. It is important to use a clean mixer and not to be afraid to beat the egg whites well, as they will add air and volume to the cookies. Once the egg whites are whipped, carefully fold them into the yolk mixture, mixing slowly to preserve the air.

Step 4: Baking the cookies
Fill the special savarin molds (or muffin tins, if you don’t have them) with the obtained dough, being careful not to overfill them, as the dough will rise. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 20 minutes. Do not open the oven door during baking to avoid deflating the cookies.

Step 5: The syrup and filling
After the cookies have cooled for 15 minutes, prepare the syrup. Boil the 3 tablespoons of sugar with the 3 tablespoons of water until the sugar completely dissolves. Add the rum for extra flavor. Cut the tops off the cookies and soak them with the cold syrup. Fill them with whipped cream (you can sweeten it with a little sugar if desired) and cover them with the cut tops.

Step 6: Finalizing
On top, add the cherry jam or another preferred jam. Let the cookies chill for at least an hour before serving. These cookies are excellent served with a cup of coffee or aromatic tea, and the cherry jam adds a delicious contrast between sweet and tart.

Practical tips
- Fresh ingredients are key: Use fresh eggs for the best results. They will contribute to a better texture and a more intense flavor.
- Choose the jam carefully: Cherry jam is preferred for its tart flavor, but you can also experiment with other jams, such as strawberry or peach.
- Whipping egg whites technique: Ensure that the bowl and whisk are completely clean and dry to achieve perfect meringue.

Variations and customizations
- Adding chocolate: You can incorporate some dark chocolate pieces into the dough for a decadent flavor.
- Gluten-free version: Replace the flour with a gluten-free option, and the breadcrumbs with an almond variant for a healthier cake.
- Decoration: You can decorate the cookies with coconut flakes, chopped nuts, or melted chocolate for a more attractive appearance.

Nutritional information
Each cookie has approximately 150-200 calories, depending on the amount of whipped cream and jam used. These cookies are a good source of energy, due to the sugar and eggs, making them ideal for an occasional dessert.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I use duck eggs instead of chicken eggs? Yes, duck eggs can be used, but make sure they are all at room temperature before preparation.
- How can I make the cookies less sweet? Reduce the amount of sugar in the dough and choose a tarter jam for the filling.
- Can I make the cookies without sugar? There are natural sweeteners that can replace sugar, but the result will vary.

These delicious cherry jam cookies are not just a dessert, but a culinary experience that will bring joy every weekend. Whether you prepare them for yourself or for loved ones, they are sure to be appreciated. So put on your apron, gather your ingredients, and let’s enjoy cooking!
