Gevulde Koek offers a delightful combination of buttery, slightly sweet pastry and a rich, almond-flavored filling, often complemented by a touch of citrus.
The primary flavor comes from the almond paste filling, which is made from ground almonds, sugar, and often egg and lemon zest. This creates a sweet, nutty, and slightly marzipan-like taste. The shortcrust pastry provides a buttery, crumbly base that balances the sweetness of the almond paste. A glaze made from apricot jam and sugar can add a fruity, shiny finish.

Almond Paste Quality
Use high-quality almond paste (amandelspijs) for the best flavor. Consider making your own from scratch for superior taste and control over ingredients.
Chilling the Dough
Chill the shortcrust pastry thoroughly before rolling it out. This prevents the dough from shrinking during baking and ensures a flaky texture.
Egg Wash
Brush the top of the Gevulde Koek with egg wash before baking for a golden-brown color and a shiny finish.
Scoring the Surface
Score the top of the cookie before baking. This not only looks attractive but also allows steam to escape during baking, preventing the cookie from cracking.
