Step 3
Take chilled chicken egg whites and beat them with a mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. To help the egg whites whip better, you can add a pinch of salt or a few drops of lemon juice. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter.

Step 5
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pipe the dough onto it in the shape of flowers. Leave space between the cookies, as the dough will expand during baking. Place a small amount of jam in the center of each cookie. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for about 40 minutes. Baking time may vary depending on the oven's power.
