Linzer Bars image

A friend brought this to one of my cookie exchange parties. I have tried the raspberry version, but she said that apricot jam could also be used, so I am including both. Great flavor and really nice presentation! A food processor comes in handy for the walnuts, or you can finely chop them.

Time 1h15m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
2 cups flour
1 cup walnuts, ground
1 cup apricots or 1 cup raspberry jam

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F Grease a 9x9" square pan.
  • Cream together butter, sugar, egg, lemon zest, salt, cinnamon, and cloves in a bowl.
  • Mix in flour and walnuts.
  • Reserve 1/4 of the dough, and pat the remaining into the prepared pan, going up about 1/2 inch on each side.
  • Spread chosen jam flavor in a layer over top of the dough.
  • Flour a flat surface.
  • Use reserved dough to create a lattice top for the bars by dividing it into pencil-shaped strips and rolling it on the floured surface.
  • Arrange in a lattice pattern across the top of the jam, criss crossing the strips and pressing the ends against the dough on the sides of the pan.
  • Bake 45 mintures, or until lightly browned.
