Instructions
1
|
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, espresso powder, and salt. Set aside.
2
|
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
3
|
Add the egg and vanilla to the butter, sugar mixture, and mix until fully combined.
4
|
Add the dry ingredients in two batches, mixing on low speed until everything is mostly combined.
5
|
Use a rubber spatula to scrape the bottom of the bowl and finish combining the dough. It will seem dry, but that's okay.
6
|
Divide the dough in two, shape into disks, and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for at least one hour or up to a few days.
7
|
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
8
|
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to ⅛" in thickness. Use a 2 ½" fluted round cutter and a 1" heart cutter. Cut out an even number of solid cookies and cookies with a heart cutout.
9
|
Place all cutout cookie dough in the freezer for 10 minutes. Place the scrap cookie dough back in the fridge for about 15 minutes before re-rolling.
10
|
Bake the frozen cutout cookies for about 10 minutes. Bake the tiny hearts for about 8 minutes. Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
11
|
Repeat with the remaining cookie dough.
12
|
In a heat proof bowl, combine the chocolate and heavy cream.
13
|
Heat in the microwave in 15 second intervals. Gently stir between each interval.
14
|
Once fully melted and combined, allow to sit for just a few minutes to cool down, then immediately use to assemble cookies.
15
|
Pair the linzer cookies up and sprinkle powdered sugar and/or cocoa powder on the top heart cookies.
16
|
Spread a thin layer of chocolate ganache on the bottom cookie, then place the paired cookie on top.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Chill Strategically for Perfect Texture 🧊After mixing, chill dough for at least 2 hours, then briefly at 15 minutes between rolling and cutting to prevent spreading and ensure crisp, delicate cookies with clean edges.
- Bloom Your Espresso Powder ☕Dissolve espresso powder in a tablespoon of hot water before adding to the dough to intensify the coffee flavor and prevent grittiness throughout the cookies.
- Toast Almond Flour First 🌰Lightly toast almond flour in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before incorporating to deepen its nutty flavor and reduce moisture content for crispier cookies.
- Use a Cardboard Template 📐Cut a stencil from sturdy cardboard for consistent cookie sizes and shapes, ensuring even baking and professional presentation when filled with chocolate ganache.
- Temper Chocolate for Shine and Snap 🍫Properly temper your chocolate filling by melting it to 115°F, cooling to 80°F, then reheating to 88°F for a glossy finish and satisfying snap when bitten.
