Ingredients

- 350g whole wheat flour

- 2 tsp vanilla sugar
- Zest of 1/2 lemon, grated
- 100g almond powder/flour
- 250g butter
- 1 egg
- Filling and Decoration:
blank
50g of Natural Nordic cranberry powder
(or 50g of any other Natural Nordic berry powder)
- 25g of jam sugar or powder sugar
- water
Directions
Combine the flour, sugar, vanilla sugar, grated lemon zest, and almond powder on a work surface into a mound.
- Add the thinly sliced cold butter and the egg.
- Chop all the ingredients with a large knife.
- Quickly knead the chopped ingredients into a dough by hand.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to approximately 2mm thickness.
- Using 2-3 different sizes of the same cookie cutter, cut out cookies, the same amount of each size.
- Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for about 10 minutes until the cookies are golden yellow.
Remove the cookies from the baking sheet. Let the cookies rest and cool properly.
- Meanwhile make the jam for the filling by mixing berry powder and sugar. Add water a little at a time and mix until you get the right consistency for the jam.
- Assemble tower-like stacks of cookies by sandwiching them together with jam: place the largest cookie at the bottom and the smallest one on top.
