Serves 25 - 114 cal per serving
Prep-time: 30 min. - Total-time: 45 min.

In a bowl mix flour, baking powder, sugar and vanilla sugar together. Add 1 egg and very cold, unsalted butter in small pieces. Quickly bring everything together to form a soft dough. You don't need to refrigerate the dough. Roll out the half of the dough on a floured workspace. With a cookie cutter cut out 25 stars or circles. Put them on a parchment paper lined baking tray. Do the same with the other half of the dough. But additionally cut out small circles from the middle of 25 stars. Pre heat the oven to 160 C / 320 F. Bake the Spitzbuben for about 8-9 minutes until lightly brown. Let them cool down on the baking tray to become firm and crispy. Dust all cookies with confectioner's sugar. Put a small amount of red currant jelly on all whole cookies and top with a cookie with a hole in the middle. After the jelly is dry, store them in a tin can.
