Low-Carb Linzer Cookies – Gluten-Free Jam-Filled Cookies

This recipe is based on the traditional Austrian Linzer cookie, which is made with almond flour in the dough and has a texture similar to shortbread.

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

🔅 All ovens bake a bit differently, so keep an eye on your bake and adjust the time/temperature if needed.
🔅 Everyone’s taste is unique — feel free to tweak sweetener, salt, or spices to make it just right for you.
🔅 Different ingredient brands can absorb moisture differently, so your texture may vary slightly.
🔅 The base recipes yield smaller batches, as the high fibre content makes these bakes naturally more filling. A smaller portion is often enough to feel satisfied — balance is key for the best experience.
🔅 High-fibre flours behave differently from traditional or other gluten-free flours. They absorb much more liquid and usually require a longer baking time. Don’t worry if the dough or batter feels wet — that’s completely normal. It’s also important to let your bake cool for 2–3 hours after coming out of the oven, as high-fibre flours continue to absorb moisture while cooling. Cutting or serving too early can make the inside feel wet.

Instructions

  1.  VISUAL GUIDE ⬇️

  2. 🔅Make the dough: In a bowl, mix the CoreBake and almond flour.
  3. Add butter and rub it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
  4. Add the egg yolk, powdered sweetener and vanilla extract. Knead gently by hand until a smooth dough forms.
  5. Shape into a ball, wrap ea in plastic wrap, and rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  6. Divide the dough in half. Roll out the first half using a sheet of parchment paper to about 3-4 mm thickness.
  7. Cut out plain round cookies and place them on a lined tray.
  8. Roll out the second half in the same way. Cut out cookies, then use a smaller round or heart-shaped cutter to create a cut-out in the centre. These will be the tops.
  9. Make sure you have the same number of tops and bases..
  10. Bake them in a preheat the oven at 170°C for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are just beginning to turn light golden brown on the edges, so keep an eye on them. They will be soft when removed from the oven and that is normal. They firm up as they cool.
  11. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
  12. 🔅 Prepare the filling while the cookies are baking and cooling - unless using a ready-made jam.
  13. Blend the raspberries until smooth.
  14. Dissolve the gelatin completely in hot water and let it stand for a minute.
  15. Stir into the raspberry purée until fully combined.
  16. Set aside until softly set but still spreadable.
  17. 🔅 Assembly: Once cookies are fully cooled, spread the filling over the the plain cookies. Top with the cut-out cookies and gently press together.
  18. Finish with a light dusting of powdered sweetener.

TIP

These cookies taste even better after resting overnight, as the flavours have time to come together.

They work with many fillings, from classic jam to chocolate cream — use what you have.
