Chia Jam Linzer Cookies
Servings: 24 sandwich cookies
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups almond flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup coconut oil softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 2 large eggs
Filling
- ½ cup strawberry or raspberry chia jam
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.
- In a separate bowl whisk together coconut oil, sugar, honey, vanilla, almond extract and eggs.
- Slowly add the flour mixture into the wet ingredient bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until well combined (you may need to use your hands to ensure all the flour is mixed in!).
- Once dough is formed, divide the dough into 2 equal discs and wrap with cling wrap. Place in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours.
- After 2 hours, preheat the oven to 350°F, roll out the dough until it is about ¼ inch thick and use heart shaped cookie cutters (to create the window for the top cookie- use a smaller cookie cutter to cut out centers from ½ of the hearts!).
- Arrange cookies on a baking tray and bake for 9-11 minutes or until the cookies JUST begin to brown.
- Once cooled, spoon about 1 teaspoon of chia jam ( or jam of choice) onto the bottom cookie and sandwich with a window cookie and sprinkle with a bit of icing sugar.
