Agave Syrup Linzer Cookies
How to make vegan Linzer Cookies using Agave Syrup
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheets
- Electric Whisk
- Sieve
Ingredients
- 170g g Vegan Butter
- ¼ cup Agave Syrup - (or Maple Syrup)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1⅔ cups Plain Flour
- pinch Salt
- ¼ cup Jam - or your own flavour choice!
- ¼ cup Confectionary Sugar - sieved
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and syrup until creamy.
- Add the rest of the ingredients (except for the jam and icing sugar) and beat until you have a crumbly dough. It will look like crumbly peas when beating, but it will come together as a dough.
- Form dough into a ball, wrap in clingfilm and chill for at least a couple of hours.
- Preheat oven to 170c.
- Line two baking sheets with greaseproof paper.
- Separate your dough into two balls. Clingfilm one ball and return to the fridge.
- Roll out the other ball on a floured work surface, until it's about ½cm thick.
- Using your Linzer Cookie Cutters, cut out equal amounts of top and bottom cookies. Place on baking sheet.
- Bake for 8 minutes or until very pale golden. Let cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet, then let cool completely on a cooling rack.
- Place half a teaspoonful of jam onto the bottom cookies.
- Dredge the tops with icing sugar, then sandwich to a jammy bottom!
Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
