Raspberry Linzer Cookies

almond flour

🥗Healthier: ground oats

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Ground oats provide a gluten-free option while maintaining texture.

raspberry jam

🥗Healthier: homemade fruit spread

💰Cheaper: strawberry jam

Homemade fruit spread can reduce sugar while using seasonal fruits.

Cut out the outside of the dough with a cookie cutter.

Cut out the center of half the cookies using a smaller cookie cutter.

Place the cookies on a baking tray.

Bake the cookies at 350°F for about 10 minutes until golden.

Prepare raspberry jam by cooking fresh raspberries with sugar and apple pectin.

Cook the raspberry mixture over medium heat until it starts to melt.

After about 20 minutes, add the mixture of pectin and sugar while whisking to prevent lumps.

Continue cooking the jam for about 45 minutes until it thickens.

Test the jam's consistency by placing a drop on a plate and letting it cool before checking.

Once the jam is ready, refrigerate it for about an hour to cool.

Assemble the cookies by piping a little jam onto the base cookie and placing the top cookie on it.

Let the assembled cookies sit for 30 to 45 minutes to allow them to become tender.
