Vegan Bites: Linzer Cookies

A little heart of red for the annual cookie boxes.

 

Linzer Cookies

 ~2.5c flour (Bobs Red Mill gluten free blend)

~1/2c icing sugar

~1/2c coconut flour

~1/2t cinnamon

~1/4t salt

Sift dry.

~1c butter

~1/2c maple syrup *may need more at the end to prevent crumble

~1t vanilla

Cream wet.

Combine wet and dry, adding a tablespoon of maple syrup at a time, if mixture is crumbly (coconut flour absorbs liquid quickly.) Use hands to mix.

Roll onto floured surface to 1/4" thick and cut large circles (using a cup.)

Small circles are not as successful as they may crack when cutting heart center.

Press heart into half of your cookies.

Bake at  350 10-12 minutes. Store until ready to serve. Spread centers with jam.
