Description

These gluten free linzer cookies are perfect for the holiday season, and are sure to be a hit at any holiday party. Bonus points that they looks a whole lot more complicated to make than they really are!


Ingredients

Cookie Ingredients

  • 1/3 coconut flour

  • 1 1/2 cup almond flour

  • 1/2 cup gluten free flour

  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil

  • 1/2 cup maple syrup

  • 1 egg

  • Optional: 1 tablespoon organic powdered sugar for sprinkling

 

Raspberry Compote Ingredients

  • 1 pint organic washed raspberries

  • 1 tsp corn starch

  • 2 tsp chia seeds

  • 1/2 juice from one lemon

  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

  • Optional: 2 tsp honey for additional sweetness


Instructions

Cookie Directions

  • In a large bowl mix the flours.

  • Whisk together well.

  • Next in a separate bowl (I use my kitchenaid mixer) combine the coconut oil, maple syrup, and the egg.

  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until well blended.

  • Place dough on a piece of parchment paper, wrap it up and place in refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours (best overnight).

  • Remove from refrigerator and place dough between two pieces of parchment paper.

  • Using a rolling pin roll dough out into 1/2 inch thickness.

  • Preheat over to 350 degrees F

  • Take a linzer cookie cutter, and cut out cookies.

  • Place cookies on baking sheet and bake from 5-6 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheet before assembling.

 

Raspberry Compote Directions:

  • In a medium size saucepan combine all ingredients.

  • Over low heat stir continuously until raspberries begin to separate and start to form a compote.

  • Allow to simmer with somewhat consistent stirring for 5 minutes.

  • Remove from heat and allow to cool

Directions to Assemble Cookies

  • Take the round bottom piece cookie and spread with a thin layer of raspberry filling.

  • Top with the top cookie piece (one with the hole shape cut into it).

  • Raspberry filling should fill the space of the cut out hole.

  • Using a sifter, finely sift powered sugar over cookies (optional, omit if you do not want to include any refined sugar for these cookies)
