MMMh the smell of fresh cookies is in the house. I love this cosy season and I love to bake x mas cookies. Every year I`m in the kitchen to prepare different cookies. Few new recipes and few favorite old recipes.
This Linzer Star Cookie recipe is one of my fav recipe, they taste so good to a cup of tea or to a coffee.
They have a nutty flavor through almond flour and I have used yellow wheat flour. If you do not get the flour you can use all-purpose flour. Yellow wheat is an old grain variety. Carotene and lutein contained in the grain (vitamin A). Yellow wheat flour has a yellow color and is firm. Already during the production of dough, a high quality of the flour is established.
The flour and grain come from my immediate surroundings from a farmer. I love something like that.
To the flour I add, almond flour, coconut sugar. Approx. 3-4 tbsp. I do not take so much sugar, the jam is still between the cookies. Cold vegan butter, a yolk, salt and 1 tbsp cold water.
I use only organic eggs!!
Knead the dough, cool for 40 minutes and roll out on a floured surface.
Cut out, all uniform and then take a small shape ( I use a star ) for the hole. Bake and spread with jam. I use my home made raspberry jam with a pinch of baked apple spice. ahh so good and not only to the cookies. On bread or into porridge, yum.

Hi Iva, thanks so much for your lovely words. Yellow wheat is an old grain variety. Carotene and lutein contained in the grain (vitamin A). Yellow wheat flour has a yellow color and is firm. But you can also use all-purpose flour. They also taste great. i hope you like it.
