Linzer Tart Cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup almond flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup raspberry jam or your preferred jam
Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350F 175C. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, almond flour, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Divide dough in half, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
Roll out one dough portion on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out rounds with a cookie cutter.
For half of the cookies, cut a smaller shape in the center such as a heart or circle.
Place uncut cookie dough rounds on the baking sheets and spoon a small amount of jam onto each. Top with the cut-out cookies.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are golden. Let cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Once cooled, dust cookies with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
A sweet treat with layers of flavor, these Linzer Tart Cookies are perfect for any occasion!
