Christmas Cookies
Delicious almond flour dough, covered with sugar and filled with jam.
TIPS:
-
Yellow egg glaze needs to be applied to warm cookies.
-
Do not put frosting on these cookies as their wonderful almondy flavor will be overwhelmed.
-
Apply decorative beads and sugar sparingly, a pinch in the middle area of the cookie, is plenty.
-
Let cookies cool before placing in cookie tin.
Separate cookie layers with wax paper in cookie tin.
Place a fresh apple wedge in the tin. This will soften the cookies and give them a unique flavor that you can't get any other way.
