Linzer Cookies 🤍 These delicate, buttery Linzer cookies filled with jam are a true classic and taste absolutely heavenly. 🥰 Ingredients (yields approx. 20 sandwich cookies): For the dough: • 250 g all-purpose flour (about 2 cups) • 150 g cold, cubed butter (about ⅔ cup) • 100 g ground blanched almonds (about 1 cup) • 100 g powdered sugar (about ¾ cup) • 1 egg yolk • 1 tsp vanilla extract • A pinch of salt For the filling: • Jam of your choice For decoration: • Powdered sugar for dusting 🤍 Instructions: 1. Combine flour, powdered sugar, ground almonds, and salt in a bowl. Add the cold butter cubes and process into a crumbly mixture. 2. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Quickly knead into a smooth dough. Shape the dough into a flat disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. 3. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) top/bottom heat (160°C fan). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. 4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 3–4 mm thick. Cut out circles (approx. 5 cm in diameter) or other shapes (e.g., hearts, flowers). Use a small cutter to create a hole in the center of half the shapes. 5. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 10–12 minutes. They should remain light in color and only turn slightly golden at the edges. Keep an eye on them after 9 minutes. The cookies will be soft when they come out of the oven but will firm up as they cool. 6. Spread a thin layer of jam on the bottom cookies (the ones without holes). 7. Dust the top cookies (the ones with holes) with powdered sugar before gently placing them on the jam-covered cookies. Optionally, lightly dust the sides of the cookies with powdered sugar as well. Enjoy baking and indulging in these delightful cookies! 🤍 - @foodwithstyle_official
