- 16 Tbsp butter, room temperature
- 1 Tbsp milk, optional
- Marshmallow cream and red currant jam to assemble cookies

Instructions
-
On flat,clean working surface, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, yolk, and butter. If you will knead the leftovers again, you need 1 tablespoon of milk to keep the dough soft for another rectangular layer.
-
Prepare two baking sheets and cover them with parchment paper. Leave aside.
-
Preheat the oven to 180 C / 356 F.
-
Roll out one half of the dough to get 3 mm thick rectangular. Cut the shapes and transfer them on the baking sheet. Be extra careful with the upper part and separate the dough from the cutter using toothpick.
-
Since there is no baking powder in the dough, you may place your cutouts close one to another before baking.
-
Bake one tray for 12 minutes, take it out and insert another.
-
Once the cookies are cold, assemble them combining marshmallow cream and raspberry jam to get sweet but tangy flavours of filling.
-
Once you assemble all the cookies, dust them with powdered sugar according to your taste.
