Ingredientes · Raciones 2
- 250 g flour
- 250 g butter ((room temperature))
- 60 g almond flour or very finely ground almonds
- 150 g sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 tbsp cold water (added after the dough has been homogenized)
- 300 g of your favorite jam (I used apple and blackberry)
- Powdered sugar
Método · 1 h 30 min
- To make the cookies dough, crumble the butter and flour and add the rest of the dough ingredients.
- Knead the dough. It will be a little crumbly, so add the tablespoon of cold water. Knead a little more until it comes together and you can form a ball of dough.
- Roll the dough out between two baking sheets until you get a thin layer of dough of 1-2 mm (~1/16 inch). Put it straight in the fridge for about 1 hour, with no additional rolling or folding.
- Take the dough from the fridge and cut out the Linzer shapes. For each cookie you will need one full disc and one with a beautiful heart shape. If you don't already have a Linzer cookie cutter, you can find many beautiful options on Amazon or at other stores.
- Bake the cookies for 15 minutes at 180 °C/355 °F (preheated) or until golden brown around the edges.
- Let the cookies cool completely before assembling. Spread a thin layer of jam on a full disc, then top it with a heart-shape disk.
- Cover with powdered sugar and enjoy with your loved ones.
- You can store them in Ziplock bags, cookie tins or jars.
