One of the first desserts they wanted to make was pretty jam sandwich cookies.
I did some research and turns out these jam sandwich cookies have an origin.
They originate fromLinzer, Austriawhere theyre called Linzer cookies.
Its a popular holiday baking item there.
Makes sense these cookies not only taste yummy they look really pretty too.
We ended up serving them for desert with company and they were delightful.
They were also fun and easy to make especially with the kiddos.

Blanched almond flour works great with baking cookies/cakes.
Directions
Preheat oven to 180 oC/ 350 oF.
In a bowl mix the flour, almond flour, baking powder and salt.
Add in the flour mixture into the butter/sugar mixture slowly ( 1 cup at a time).
Mix with your mixer on low speed.
Sprinkle some flour onto your work surface.
Using a rolling pin, roll out one half of the dough.
Save the other half of the dough for step 5.
Ensure that the dough rolled out is about 1/8 inch thick.
Using the large circle cookie cutter, cut a bunch of shapes into your dough.
Re-roll the dough and redo this step until this half of the dough is finished.
This will create a bunch of O shapes.
Each cookie will need both pieces.
Cook for around 7-9 minutes or until lightly golden.
Once out of the oven, place cookies on a cooling rack and let cool completely.
Once cooled take a teaspoon of jam and place it on each full circle/oval.
Spread it to the edges.
Take a sift and dust each of the O (circle with hole in middle) cookies separately.
I kind of overdid the icing sugar (woops!
Will have to invest in a proper sift to find out.
Carefully set a sugar dusted cookie on top of each jam covered cookie.
Storage instructions: Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
