Recipe is created for
TM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Recipe's preparation
1. Pre-heat oven to 375f / 190c
2. Line baking trays with parchment paper, set aside
3. Place nuts into thermomix 10 sec / speed 9, set aside
4. Beat butter and sugar, 1min / speed 6 (may need to scrape down sides through-out)
5. Add eggs, 3 sec / speed 6
6. Add vanilla extract, 3 sec / speed 6
7. Add milled nuts, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and lemon zest, 10 sec / speed 6
8. Scrape down sides, 10 sec / speed 6
9. Wrap in plastic and place in freezer until firm, approximately 30 minutes
10.Dust a clean surface (thermomat) with flour and roll out dough to approximately 1/8-inch thickness.
11.Using a round cutter (I used a linzer cutter), cut out cookies (at least 36) and transferred to the prepared baking trays
12.Cut out a further 36 with a round cutter (I used a linzer cutter with a shape cut out – see picture), these will be the top pieces of the cookies. You can either re-roll out the cut outs or bake them.
13.Bake all of the cookies for about 8 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack until completely cooled.
14.Sift confectioners sugar over the top pieces of the cookies
15.Spread about 1 teaspoon jam on each of the bottom halves and place top half (cut our piece) on jam covered bottom half
16.Cookies can be stored carefully in an airtight container for up to one-week.

Tip
I use spelt flour when making these, you could use GF flour ir you wanted.
Most of the prep time is the 30 to 40inutes required for the biscuit dough to go firm in the freezer for rolling out.
Can easliy be made in all Thermomix models following the same steps.

Fabulous recipe - thank you! Everyone loved these delicious biscuits. I found it difficut to roll out the dough on a non-stick mat but directly on the bench with lots of flour worked well.

Hi Fliss, not sure why it
Hi Fliss, not sure why it crumbled as I didn't have this problem (maybe less time in your freezer), please make sure you flour your Thermomat prior to rolling out your dough.

I didnt use Spelt flour - my oops. Any idea why my dough was completely unrollable ! I froze for 30 mins it just crumbled, then another 30 mins and it was a bit better but was hopeless when trying to use the cookie cutters which I had bought specially !! It stuck to the Thermo mat - just a mess .. Any ideas on what I might havedone wrong ?
