    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar.

    2

    Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the vanilla sugar and egg yolks.

    3

    Knead the dough until it comes together smoothly. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

    4

    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    5

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) thickness. Cut out cookies using a round cookie cutter. For half of the cookies, cut out a smaller shape from the center.

    6

    Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet.

    7

    Spread apricot jam on the flat side of the whole cookies. Top with the cookies with the cut-out centers, creating a sandwich.

    8

    Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
