You will need:

• a few spoonfuls of thick jam (any flavor you like)
• 2 eggs
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 3 tablespoons sour cream or plain yogurt
• about 1 cup (150 g) all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• a pinch of vanilla (or ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract)
• a pinch of salt
• powdered sugar, for dusting

Step-by-step guide

In a bowl, beat the eggs with sugar and a pinch of salt until light and foamy. Add sour cream or yogurt and mix with a whisk.

Sift the flour together with the baking powder and vanilla, gradually adding it to the mixture. The dough should be thick but soft — similar to pancake batter.

Spoon portions of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Place a little jam in the middle of each portion, cover with another drop of dough, forming neat "pancakes".

Bake at 375 °F (190 °C) for 12–15 minutes, until the cookies are golden brown. Let them cool slightly, then sprinkle with powdered sugar or roll in coconut flakes.
