Description
Festive Linzer cookies shaped like reindeer, filled with jam.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in almond extract and egg yolk.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Divide dough in half, flatten into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness.
- Use reindeer-shaped cookie cutters to cut out cookies. Cut out small circles from half of the cookies for the jam filling.
- Place cookies on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cookies cool completely on baking sheets.
- Dust the tops of the cookies with holes with powdered sugar.
- Spread raspberry jam on the bottom cookies and top with the dusted cookies.
Notes
- Chill the dough well to prevent spreading during baking.
- Use different flavors of jam for variety.
- Store cookies in an airtight container.
