Cut small circles in the center: Cut out a small circle in the centers of half of the cookies. You want to cut out as many cookies as you can! Using a cookie cutter or the lid from a jar, cut the dough into 2-inch circles. Cut out the cookies: After 2 hours, remove both pieces of dough from the fridge. This will give the butter in the dough time to firm up and help the cookies keep their shape as they’re baking in the oven. Chill the dough: After both pieces of dough have been rolled out, place them in the fridge for at least two hours. Then, roll out each ball of dough until it’s roughly 1/4 inch thick. Roll out the dough: Divide the dough in half. If needed, you can use a rubber spatula to work the dough together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet: The dough may be a bit crumbly at first, but continue to mix it until a smooth dough forms. Combine the wet ingredients: To the butter-sugar mixture, add the egg, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. The mixture doesn’t need to be light any fluffy, just well combined. Cream together the butter and sugar: This should only take 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk together the dry ingredients: Combine the flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. If you don’t have a rolling pin or cookie cutters, you can still make this recipe! You’ll just have to get creative and use a smooth bottle instead of a rolling pin, the lid of a jar instead of a round cookie cutter, and so on. Raspberry jam: Use a good-quality jam since it’s the star of the recipe! I really love Bonne Maman raspberry jam. You can leave it out if you prefer, but I highly suggest using it! Lemon Zest: This ingredient is completely optional, but it adds a lovely lemon flavor to these cookies. Baking powder: Just 1/2 teaspoon gives the cookies a little lift. You can usually find this in the baking aisle at most groceries stores. Almond flour: Make sure that you’re using blanched almond flour for these cookies. Instead, spoon and level the flour to measure it. All-purpose flour: Don’t scoop the flour straight from the bag, as that will compact it and you’ll accidentally measure out too much. Let’s go over a few important ingredients you’ll need to make this traditional cookie: Linzer cookies are essentially a buttery almond shortbread cookie with a raspberry jam filling. 
I made this Linzer cookie recipe with almond flour and raspberry jam, but you’re welcome to play around with different fillings and flavors! Linzer cookies are a classic cookie usually made for Christmas, but they’re perfect for Valentine’s Day too! The cookie dough requires a little extra elbow grease - namely in the form of chilling the dough, then rolling and cutting it out - but otherwise it’s a very simple recipe.
They’re named after the Austrian Linzer Torte, which is a type of pastry that features a buttery lattice top that sits over a jam filling. Traditional raspberry Linzer cookies have an interesting history. No holiday gathering is complete without a plate of these cookies to nibble on! Dust the top of the cut-out cookies with confectioners' sugar and press the flat sides together, with the raspberry preserves in the middle and the confectioners' sugar on the top.These Linzer cookies are made with an almond cookie dough and filled with raspberry jam. Spread raspberry preserves on the flat side of each solid cookie. Place all the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet and chill for 15 minutes.īake the cookies for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges begin to brown. With 1/2 of the rounds, cut a hole from the middle of each round with a heart or spade shaped cutter. Roll the dough 1/4-inch thick and cut 2 3/4-inch rounds with a plain or fluted cutter. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes. Dump onto a surface dusted with flour and shape into a flat disk.
Mix on low speed until the dough starts to come together. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and salt, then add them to the butter-and-sugar mixture. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the butter and sugar until they are just combined.
