Christmas linzer cookies with Biscoff®

  If using a food mixer, remove the whisk attachment, add the dough hook, and lower the speed. Stir in the almond flour and the sifted all-purpose flour. Mix until a dough forms.

  Take the dough out of the fridge and roll out (0.5 cm thick) on a lightly floured surface. Cut out the cookies using a cookie cutter of choice. Use a smaller cookie cutter to cut out the middle of the cookies. Transfer them on the baking tray.
