Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.

1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup almond flour
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ tsp fine salt

For rolling

⅓ cup sliced almonds

For the filling

⅓ cup raspberry or strawberry jam

Instructions

1
Stir together the ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl and set aside for 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a gel.
2
Beat the softened vegan butter and organic cane sugar together in a large bowl with a stand mixer or hand mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the flax gel, almond extract, and vanilla extract and beat until fully combined, about 30 seconds.
