![]() To make a long story short, after nearly 2 years of unexplained symptoms and tracking his food, we finally realized that almonds were the culprit after I gave him a linzer cookie last Christmas. Besides the fact that I don't always have almond flour on hand, our son, Cameron, has a tree-nut sensitivity that led me to creating this nut-free version of linzer cookies. Almond flour is more expensive than all-purpose flour, and not every grocery store carries it. Anything I can do to simplify my holiday baking and to-do list is a win!Īnother plus of this shortbread cookie version is that it has no nuts since it's made without almond flour. These cookies are delicate and delicious just like the original, but they're quick and easy to make with staple ingredients in a bakers' pantry. Shortbread, on the other hand, is made with just just 5 ingredients: all-purpose flour, confectioners' (powdered) sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and salt (plus raspberry jam for filling the cookie sandwiches). Traditional linzer cookies are made with both all-purpose flour and almond flour, along with butter, egg, sugar, and flavorings like vanilla extract and citrus zest or spices. These shortbread linzer cookies put a simplified spin on traditional linzer cookies. The delicate cookies - dusted with confectioners' sugar and sandwiched with fruit jam - are as beautiful as they are iconic. Linzer cookies are right up there with gingerbread cookies and sugar cookies at the top of the list of classic Christmas cookie recipes.
