Fall Einkorn Linzer Cookies

Ingredients

  • 2ยผ cups (270 g)ย Jovial All-Purpose Einkorn Flour
  • ยผ cup (40 g) white rice flour
  • ยพ cup (115 g) almond flour
  • ยฝ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • ยผ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Pinch of cinnamon
  • 12 tablespoons (170 g) cold unsalted butter, cut into ยผ-inch cubes
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • One jar ofย Bionaturae Organic Fruit Spread of your choice (we used Apricot and Citrus Ginger for fall colors!)
  • 3 tablespoons (30g) powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl combine the flours, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until the mixture is sandy. Add the egg and knead in the bowl until the dough is smooth.
  4. Divide the dough in half. Form each half into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  5. Place the first piece of doughย in between two pieces of parchment paper, dusting the paper and the top of the dough lightly with flour. Roll the dough toย โ…›-inch thick. Using a 2โ€ fluted cookie cutter, cut out rounds. Half of the round will be the base of the cookies. To make the tops, use a 1โ€ cookie cutter to cut out the centers from half of the rounds. Transfer cookies to the baking sheet 1 inch apart. Gather the scraps into a ball, chill for 10 minutes, then roll out again and proceed in cutting equal numbers of bases and tops.
  6. Bake for 12 minutes until the edges begin to brown slightly. Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Continue in the same manner with the remainingย piece of dough.
  8. Before serving, spread 1 teaspoon of fruit spread on the cookie bases. Dust the top of the tops with powdered sugar and place on top of the fruit spread. Serve immediately.
  9. The unfilled cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days and filled as needed.
