Preparation
First, mix all dry ingredients together and separately, mix all of the liquid ingredients until they are creamy. With your fingers, slowly knead in the dry ingredients with the liquid mixture until a crumbly dough almost like for crumbs is achieved
Now wrap the dough in a cloth and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and roll the dough thinly out, as for using normal cookie cutters. Use cookie cutters to cut the dough out. Use a circle cutter to cut out the main shape for the cookies. Cut out half of the cookies with a decorative shape in the middle and the other half stay as they are
Now you bake the linzer cookies for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven
If you want you can sprinkle the cookies with the cut out middle with powdered sugar. To do this ground the coconut sugar and the tapioca starch
Now put some jelly on the whole cookies and place a cookie with a cut out shape on top
Let the biscuits cool down completely
