Roll the dough to about 2 cm thickness, cut out 1.5 cm wide slices, shape them into balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper with some space between. Press a small indentation in the center of each with the handle of a cooking spoon. Warm the lingonberry jam and fill the indentations. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C on the second rack from below for about 10–12 minutes until golden yellow. Let cool and fill the indentations with remaining jam.
