Hanukkah Jelly Cookie Recipe

Yum! Hanukkah is just a few days away and I love baking some cute shaped cookies for my daughters. ThisĀ Hanukkah Jelly Cookie Recipe is easy to make, delicious and super festive. You can fill them up with any jam, jelly or even Nutella! I made some with apricot jelly and others with apple butter. They turned out amazing.

The other day I was shopping at Publix and saw they had a huge Hanukkah section filled with decorations and tiny cookie cutters that were perfect for this recipe. If you don’t celebrate this Holiday you can cut them any shape you’d like. You can also cut them using a paring knife and your own creativity.

For Hanukkah, we make a huge deal. Present giving, a nice dinner spread and play all sorts of games with the Dreidels. So I thought these cookies would be a huge hit with kids and adults.

My daughters love cookies, they go wild for them and it’s a fun activity to do on a rainy day. I always have some homemade frozen dough in my freezer so I can bake up a batch anytime! Even when unannounced company shows up.

For thisĀ Hanukkah Jelly Cookie Recipe, I used my trusty old’ homemade cookie dough that I’ve perfected over time. It’s the same dough I made the Guava and Cheese Rugelach cookies.

It’s delicious and super soft. The other plus is that is freezable like I mentioned before. So make a triple batch and freeze the other 2 batches into 2 separate discs, wrapped in plastic paper and inserted into a zip top bag.

Ā To make these yummy cookies, simply make the dough (recipe below). Refrigerate for 30 minutes, roll and cut out circles using a cookie cutter or a rimmed glass.

Place the cookie circles in a jelly roll pan and cut out little shapes to half of them. The other half we will leave whole. Bake in the oven until browned. Cool and spread jelly on the whole cookies. Sprinkle some powdered sugar on the cut out ones and then sandwich them together. See? easy. Here’s some pictures of the process:

Of the batch I made there’s only 1 left and it’s calling my name! I hope it’s the one filled with apple butter!

Hope you can make this for you Hanukkah dinner and come back to let me know how they came out.

    I had to add more than a cup of flour to make this dough workable. I even refrigerated it overnight. If you bake the cutout ones separately from the solid rounds, they won’t overbake since they do not take as long

      Thanks for your feedback Carol. I am sorry you had to add more flour. Sometimes flours absorb more liquid than others.
