Recipe Card

ingredients

  • 2 sticks of butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 1/2 all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Nutella®, for filling
  • confectioner sugar, for dusting

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment.

  • Step 2

    In a medium bowl, sift together the AP flour, almond flour, and salt. Set aside.

  • Step 3

    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and egg yolk and mix for another 15 seconds.

  • Step 4

    With the mixer running on low speed, in a steady stream, add in the flour mixture. Paddle until the dough just comes together. Do not over mix.

  • Step 5

    Divide the dough in half, and pat each half into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.

  • Step 6

    Once the dough is chilled, roll out to 1/4 of an inch thick. Set rolled dough back into the refrigerator for 15 minutes before cutting out cookies.

  • Step 7

    Using a linzer cookie cutter, cut out your shapes. Half of your cookies should have a small cut out of the center. Place them on a cookie sheet, and freeze for 30 minutes to ensure that the cookies hold their shape.

  • Step 8

    Place the cookies in the oven and bake for 12 minutes. Let them cool completely before filling.

  • Step 9

    Once they are cooled, dust the cookies with the cut-out centers with confectioners sugar. On the other halves, on the back side of the cookie, spread 1 tsp of Nutella®. Sandwich the two halves together.
