How To
For the dough sift flour and baking powder in a bowl. Add sugar, orange zest, eggs, butter and almonds. Whisk with the dough hook on high.
Knead thoroughly until smooth. If the dough is too sticky wrap in cellophane in set in fridge for a while.
On floured counter roll dough out thinnly and cut out cookies using some fun christmas cookie cutters (now thats the fun part. ha!) Make sure you have at least 2 cookies of each kind since you need to put 2 together at the end! Put cookies on sheet and bake for ca. 10 minutes at 200°C.
For the filling crumble the ladyfingers (or some cookies).
Heat rum, red wine, orange zest and chocolate until the chocolate is melted. Pour over ladyfinger crumbs, stir well and let cool.
Spread some jam on one side of the cooled off cookies. Then spread some of the filling on the cookies and put 2 cookies together.
Mix the powdered sugar with as much milk (I use milk here 'cause that way the frosting looks whiter) until its a thick but spreadable mass. Spread over cookie tops. Heat some of the currant jam and drizzle a couple drops on the still wet sugar frosting. Using a toothpick blend the jam into the sugar until you have a marble looking top!
