Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 210 grams All-purpose flour
- 120 grams Almond flour
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg yolk
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 180 grams Blueberry jam
- 30 grams Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a handheld or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into two equal portions, flatten each into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch (3 mm) thickness.
Using a round cookie cutter (approximately 2 inches in diameter), cut out circles from the dough. On half of the circles, use a smaller cutter to create a window in the center.
Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Re-roll the scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the windowed cookies generously with powdered sugar.
Spread approximately 1 teaspoon of blueberry jam onto the flat side of each non-windowed cookie.
Gently place a windowed cookie on top of each jam-covered cookie, pressing lightly to adhere.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Enjoy your Blueberry Linzer Cookies!
