Linzer Cookies (Sandwich Cookies) image

Nutty Linzer sandwich cookies filled with jam. Usually they are filled with apricot or strawberry jam. I used orange marmalade once and they were delicious.

Time 9h35m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ¼ cups ground hazelnuts
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
½ lemon, zested
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
1 cup butter, at room temperature
1 egg yolk
½ cup jam, or to taste
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Mix together flour, ground hazelnuts, 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla sugar in a large bowl. Add butter and egg yolk and knead until everything is well combined. Divide dough in 1/2, pat into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Remove dough from the refrigerator and roll on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thick. Cut out cookies using desired cookie cutter shape. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. On 1/2 of the cookies, remove a "peekaboo" cutout using a smaller cookie cutter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven just until edges are beginning to turn golden, about 5 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack. Spread jam on the warm whole cookies and top with the cutout cookies.
  • Let cookies rest until softened a bit, 8 hours to overnight. Dust with remaining confectioners' sugar just before serving.

I'm allergic to nuts. Do you think I could make these cookies with a different type of flour?

I'm not sure if I have all of the ingredients for this recipe. Do you think I can substitute something else for the almond flour?

I'm thinking of making these cookies for my next party. Do you think they would hold up well if I made them a day or two ahead of time?

I've made these cookies several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfectly.

These cookies were a disaster! The dough was too sticky and the cookies spread out too much in the oven. I ended up with a big mess.

The cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but the jam filling was delicious. I think I'll try using a different type of jam next time.

These cookies are so delicious and festive! I love the way the lattice top shows off the jam filling. They're perfect for Christmas parties or gift giving.

I'm not much of a baker, but these cookies turned out great! The dough was easy to work with and the cookies held their shape well. The jam filling was the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.
