Holiday Linzer Cookies
Holiday Linzer cookies are buttery cookie sandwiches cut in unique shapes, filled with jam, and sprinkled with powdered sugar.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter room temperature
- ½ cup White Granulated Sugar
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- ¾ cup Almond Flour
- 2 ¼ cups All-Purpose Flour
- Confectioners' Sugar for topping
- Jam raspberry jam is traditionally used, but pick your favorite flavor!
Instructions
- In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla and mix on low speed. Add almond flour and all-purpose flour and continue mixing on low. It will begin to pull from the sides of the bowl and form a ball in the center.
- Cover the dough and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out cookie dough and use a 2" cookie cutter to cut shapes. Cut a smaller shape in the center of half of the 2" cookies. Leave the other half as-is.
- Add cut cookies to the lined baking sheet ½" apart. The cookies do not spread or rise much. Bake for 8 minutes until they are just set.
- Set cookies on a cooling rack. Once fully cooled, add ½-1 teaspoon of jam to each of the 2" base cookies. Coat the tops (the cookies with the center cut out) with powdered sugar. Place the sugared cookie on top of the cookie with jam. Store in a cool, dry place for up to a week.
