Old Basis Linzer Cookies

Old-World Linzer Cookies – a lovely footling butter cookie amongst hints of cinnamon as well as lightly sweetened amongst jam. The perfect vacation treat!

I dearest the sentiment of making a cookie recipe that’s been closed to for hundreds of years.   According to what I’ve read, Linzer Cookies were based on the “Linzertorte one of the oldest known tarts amongst a recipe discovered inward an Austrian abbey closed to 1653.”  This recipe tin live made amongst almond flour, hazelnut flour or pecan repast as well as the filling tin live anything from raspberry jam, apricot jam, or fifty-fifty chocolate praline.

 

Roll the dough on a floured slice of waxed paper.  Cut one-half the cookies amongst with a blueprint inward the middle as well as the other one-half plain.

Bake at 375 degrees for most 8 minutes.

Once cool spread jam on the company cookies.

Lightly dust the cookies amongst the cutting out centers amongst confectioners’ sugar.  “Lightly” is a relative term as well as I didn’t pay much attending to it.  I mean value my low-cal dusting of snowfall turned into a blizzard.

OK I create convey a few snowfall drifts every bit I was carried away amongst the carbohydrate dusting.  You don’t bespeak this much but it didn’t deport on the sense of savor – they were nevertheless delicious!

When I brand these ane time again some twenty-four hr menses I volition brand a thinner cookie, job to a greater extent than jam for the filling (I accidentally picked upwards preserves) as well as LIGHTLY dust the cutting out tops amongst confectioners’ sugar.  These cookies were fifty-fifty ameliorate afterward they had a gamble to sit down overnight.  The slight hint of cinnamon as well as the sweetness of the jam/preserves was wonderful!
