Hello, these cookies look beautiful and so christmassy! But I don't have almond/hazelnut flour though, is it alright to just substitute with the same amt of plain flour, would it affect the taste? Also, I'm thinking of making the non-cutter version, but I foresee some problems storing/staking them, like the jam getting smeared on the rest of the cookies. Do you have any tips on storage? Thank! :)
A nut flour gives the distinctive flavor and texture of this cookie - if you don't have any you could sub flour. Storage can be problematic with the jam - sometimes parchment paper helps between the cookies. In general, they are best made fresh then distributed or displayed for hungry holiday eaters. Happy Baking! Irene @ KAF
