This post goes out to Sara, who I want to bake with. :) Also, you didn't come to eat them, I am disappointed...

I was following this recipe: http://desszert.eu/ischler_isler

As it turned out, it is very easy to make this kind of cookie. You only need basic ingredients and the process of making them is also easy.

The recipe of Isler

for the non-Hungarian speakers

Ingredients (for about 5 regular size islers):

for the dough:

5050 g sugar

100100 g butter/margarine

140140 g flour

5050 g crushed walnut or almond

0.50.5 teaspoon of cinammon

for the filling:

any kind of jam that you like, I used strawberry and lingonberry (not very traditional), but it is also very good with apricot jam or raspberry 

for the "cover":

200-300300 g 65% dark chocolate

the ingredients

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven on 200°C

2. Put the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix them, then cover it and put it in the fridge for 10 minutes.

3. After the 10 minutes you can spread it in 3 mm thickness and make round shaped cookies from them. The original diameter of isler is usually 75 mms, but I also made smaller ones for tasting. Then you can put it in the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes. As soon as they start to get darker and more solid get them out of the oven immediately!

4. When they are cold enough, you can fill them with jam.
