Ginger Apricot Linzer Cookies (paleo + vegan)

Author: Tisha Riman | The Nourished Mind

Ingredients

Linzer cookies

Apricot Ginger Jam

  • 2 lbs apricots pitted and chopped
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ½ tsp ginger
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

For the cookies

  • In a medium bowl, combine all cookie ingredients together until dough forms.
  • Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out dough until it's about 1/4 inch thick. Place dough in fridge for 10 minutes to firm up.
  • Cut out 24 cookie shapes with crimped cookie cutter. With a small heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out the centre of 12 of the cookies, for the tops of the sandwiches, and leave 12 whole, for the bases.
  • Bake all the cookies at 350F for 7-10 minutes, or until golden. Allow to cool completely.

For the jam

  • Place all ingredients in a medium sauce pot, and bring to a boil. Allow to simmer until the apricots breakdown, and the mixture thickens, about 15-20 minutes.

To assemble

  • Spread jam evenly on all the cookie bases. Place top of the cookies on top of the jam to form a sandwich. When ready to serve, dust with icing sugar.
