  4. On 18 discs, spread 4 g of raspberry on one half and 4 g of apricot on the other, leaving a 4 mm border. Place a full disc on it and press gently.
  5. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, lightly powder with icing sugar and then cut a cookie in the center to reveal the two toppings; depending on the cutting direction, they appear side by side or each on half.

Baking tips for this recipe

  • Work the dough just enough to combine the ingredients after adding flour; avoid prolonged kneading.
  • Respect the temperature of the butter and the indicated rest. If a cutting paste becomes sticky, cool it before shaping.
  • Keep a regular thickness between pieces of the same batch and monitors the edges at the end of cooking. Let cool before garnishing.

Substitutions and variations

To replace a main ingredient, choose another sheet designed with the one you want to use. Changing the proportions of fat, sugar or liquid can change the hold of the dessert.
