Recipe: Vegan Linzer Cookies with Maple-Raspberry Preserves (2024)

published: December 20, 2014 / updated: December 11, 2022by Kaity Farrell

Almonds, raspberries, maple syrup, vanilla bean. Do I have your attention yet? Oh, how I love the Linzer cookie. The almond cookie has an almost shortbread-like texture. I'm not sure why I do not make just the cookie recipe more often, as they are great on their own, especially served with tea. But dat maple-raspberry jam filling. Ahhhmazing is the only fitting word that comes to mind. When made in a small amount, homemade jam could not be easier. You can make the jam on its own to keep in the fridge, and you may never by store-bought jam again.

Make these for your holiday guests, bring them into work to spread some plant-based holiday cheer, or package and give to your loved ones and friends for a thoughtful handmade gift.

Now onto cookies…

Ingredients

Almond Cookies
2 Cups all purpose flour + more for dusting and rolling
1/2 Cup finely ground almonds or almond meal
1/2 teaspoon basking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of sea salt
1/2 Cup of maple syrup
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or seeds from a vanilla bean
2 teaspoons almond extract
Maple-Raspberry Preserves
2 Cups fresh or frozen whole raspberries
1 Cup maple syrup
1 vanilla bean split open if you've scraped the seeds for the cookie recipe, then use the rest of the bean here

Instructions

For Almond Cookies:

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Add wet to dry and mix together with a rubber spatula. Dough will come together into a soft ball. If it seems too sticky or does not come together into a ball stir in a tablespoon at a time of more flour until it does. Please note that moisture content of the almond meal and flour, humidity, climate can all affect your baking so sometimes you will have to adjust quantities as you go to get the right consistency.
Generously dust your work surface, rolling pin and hands with flour. Turn dough out onto work surface. Form into a disc and generously dust top with more flour. Roll dough out to 1/4" thickness, dusting with more flour as you go, rotating the disc over a few times throughout the process to keep it even. {Note: You can also roll dough between 2 sheets of floured wax paper as the dough will be quite soft and sticky.} Use a 2" round cutter to cut out as many rounds as possible.
Transfer rounds to prepared cookie sheets. Then gather up leftover dough and re-roll and cut repeatedly until all of dough is used up. Use a 1" cutter to cut out the center of half of the cookies, these will be your tops and the uncut cookies your bottoms. You can re-roll the 1" rounds or bake them as is for some mini cookies.
Bake for about 15 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through, until lightly golden brown. Transfer cookies to cooling racks and allow to cool completely before filling.

For Maple-Raspberry Preserves:

Add all ingredients to a small saucepan and bring to a boil on medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce to med-low heat on a low boil for 20-30 minutes until reduced to a runny jam consistency. The preserves will firm up and thicken a bit more as they cool.
Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool completely. Discard vanilla bean.

Assemble Cookies:

Sift powdered sugar over the cookie tops.
Spread a teaspoon of preserves onto each cookie bottom. Place the sugared tops onto each cookie. Enjoy!

Notes

AlmondCookies can be made ahead and will keep sealed at room temperature for up to a week.

Preserves will keep refrigerated for 2 weeks.

Finished cookies will keep sealed at room temperature for up to 1 week.
