Buckwheat Linzer Cookies: Santa gets enough Milk And Cookies, give him what he really wants for Christmas Eve 2014, Beer And Dessert! These flavorful and (more) healthy whole grain cookies show off one of the best aspects of Home Canning, being able to savor the taste of fresh, early summer berries even when in winter’s icy grip; and what better to pair with the sweet flavor of local strawberries than New Glarus Brewing’s Strawberry Rhubarb.

Homemade, home canned, Strawberry Jam sandwiched in-between layers of homemade buckwheat sable cookie dough (inspired by Alice Medrich’s new cookbook Flavor Flours) made with Bobs Red Mill’s whole grain brown rice flour, #wholegrain wheat flour, whole grain oat flour, wholesome sweet’s organic sugar, whole grain #organic buckwheat flour, and wheat bran.
