Chestnut Linzer Cookies.
Today, we transform my beloved chestnut flour into an even more delicious treat.
These cookies are perfectly crumbly thanks to the chestnut flour, which provides a sweet and delicate flavor. You will absolutely enjoy working with the dough, it’s so satisfying!
Once baked, we’ll make them even more tempting by filling them with a generous amount of hazelnut cream.
So, let’s get started! Come along with me and let’s get baking.
