Description
This “buttery” and soft Linzer cookie recipe is so easy to make, naturally vegan and eggless, and
filled with a rich vegan Nutella spread! The perfect classic Christmas cookie to make this season!

Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup almond flour
1 tbsp arrowroot starch
3/4 cup salted vegan butter, softened but still cold (not quite room temperature)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract or powder
3/4 cup vegan nutella or store bought dairy free chocolate hazelnut spread
Powdered sugar for topping

Instructions
1 Please read through all instructions before beginning.
2 Prep: Measure out all ingredients. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, and set
aside.
3 Whisk: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, and arrowroot starch. Set
aside.
4 Make the dough: In a large bowl with a hand mixer or in a stand mixer, cream together the
vegan butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in the vanilla, and mix
again until evenly distributed. Add in the flour mixture, and use a silicone spatula to fold the

flour into the butter mixture until just mixed. This will take a bit of work, but it will combine
into the butter mixture to create a dough without any need for added dairy free milk.
5 Chill the dough: Wrap the dough in parchment paper and place in the fridge to chill for 20
minutes.
6 Make the Linzer cookies: Lightly flour a clean piece of parchment paper. Place the dough
onto the parchment paper and flour both the dough and the rolling pin. Roll out the dough to
be about 1/4″ thick. Use a Linzer cookie cutter and cut out as many Linzer cookies as you can,
making sure to have an even number. Place the middle piece cut out into half of the Linzer
cookies, removing the middle piece of dough. Remove the scraps of dough around the cookies
and set aside (to be re-rolled again). Repeat for the remaining dough. You should get about 25
cookie sandwiches.
7 Chill the dough again: Place the parchment paper with the Linzer cookies onto a baking
sheet and into the freezer to chill while you preheat the oven to 350F.
8 Bake the cookies: Place the cookie sheets into the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until
the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 10
minutes.
9 Fill the Linzer cookies: Spread about 1 tsp of vegan Nutella onto the back of one of the
Linzer cookies that doesn’t have a hole in it. Place another Linzer cookie on top (the one with
the cut-out middle) and sandwich together. Repeat for all of the cookies.
10 Serve and enjoy! Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy!
