For the nut rings, prepare the short pastry as described in the basic recipe.
Preheat the oven to 170° C hot air and prepare the nut filling.
Roll out the dough on a floured work surface. Cut out round cookies, poke a hole in half of the slices. Place the cookie slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Pour the nut mixture into a piping bag and pipe it in a ring shape onto the cookies with the hole. Bake for about 15 minutes.
After cooling, glue one perforated and one unperforated cookie together with currant jam.
