Gluten-free Linzer cookies, the recipe

We present a healthy version-so without gluten, milk and sugar-of the famous Austrian cookie. These cookies can never be missed at Christmas time, but this does not mean that they cannot be made at any time of the year. On the contrary, you can experiment and use various kinds of jam or hazelnut cream or dark chocolate. Result is always great :-) A perfect gift idea for Christmas or Valentine's Day!
