Cookies

List of ingredients:

80 grams of sugar
200 grams of butter (Room temperature)
300 grams of flour
Pinch of salt
Lemon peel
Vanilla sugar
250 grams of jam

We start off by mixing 200 grams of butter.

After thats mixed well we add the sugar.

And the vanilla sugar.

Next we add 300 grams of flour. Be carefull not to put all of it in at once or the mixer might not mix it as good as we’d like it to.

Now we continue mixing it until it lookis a little something like this.

Now we take it out of the mixer and start mixing it by hand and try to form some sort of a ball. We knead it until it gets a dough like texture.

Now we jsut put it back in the mixer for a couple of turns and after it looks like this it is ready to go in the fridge. I suggest putting it in some sort of foil so it doesn’t stick to the fridge.

Now we let it rest for about half an hour.

After 30 minutes we get our workplace ready. We do that by putting cleaning it and putting flour on it.

Now we can continue with the next step which is to roll out the dough.

Now we grab a cookie cutter and start making circles out of our rolled out dough.

In some circles cut out a heart like shape so our cookies

Now we put them in the oven that was preheated to 200°C (392 Fahrenheit) for 8 minutes until they become golden brown color.

Now we take a circle cookie that doesn’t have a heart cut out and spread some jam on top of it.

As for the cookie with the heart cut out we just simply put some powdereded sugar on top of it.

The last thing we have to do is to put the cookie with the heart cut out on top of the cookie without the heart cut out.

And that’s how you make Linzer cookies.

Pro Tip: Make the cookies right after they come out of the oven so they glue to one another.

List of ingredients:

250 grams of coconut flour
120 grams of cocoa ( I used 2 different types of cocoa but that is just personal preference)
100 grams of crushed nuts
250 grams of powdered sugar
3 egg whites
3 egg yolks
extra powdered sugar (cca. 100 grams)

First we mix all 3 egg yolks.

After this is mixed we start adding 250 grams of powdered sugar.

Next we start putting in the cocoa powder.

We then follow up with 250 grams of crushed nuts.

And that leaves us with only the coconut flour and egg whites. First we are going to put in all 250 grams of cocnut flour. While that is mixing well we can take that time to beat up the egg whites.

Last but certainly not least we mix in the beaten up egg whites ino our mixture. I’d recommend using a whisk for this so we do not ruin the properties of beaten up egg whites.

Bonus tip: Mix in the beaten up egg whites by only lifting up the mixture and putting it on top of the beaten up egg whites and not actually whisking it because then we would be doing the same thing a mixer is doing it.

Now we can prepare to get our hands “dirty”. We must prepare a baking tray which is covered with a layer of parchment paper so that our cookies won’t stick to it. We need to also get ourselves a plate in which we have 100 or so grams of powdered sugar so we can roll our crack cookies into it.

Now we finally start making little ball shapped cookies and rolling them over some powdered sugar.

After some time and effort our baking tray should be looking a little something like this.

You should also make sure that you do not put them too close to one another since they rise in the oven.

They make at around 180 °C ( 356 Fahrenheit) for 5-7 minutes. I wouldn’t recommend any more than that since they easily burn.

I decided so serve them up with a cup of tea since that combination is to die for.
