- Jam – It’s not a Linzer cookie without jam. The original recipe used blackcurrant jam. This recipe uses raspberry jam, but you can use your favorite.
The fruity jam is a bright and fresh contrast to the buttery cookie.
How to Make Linzer Cookies
First Step – Make the dough. Some Linzer recipes use a traditional pie crust. This one doesn’t, so make the dough as instructed.
Second Step – Roll out the dough. Shape the dough into two disks and place them between sheets of parchment paper. Roll each disk until it’s 1/8 inch thick all around.
Third Step – Chill the dough. Place the rolled dough on a baking sheet or cutting board. Put it in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
Fourth Step – Cut your cookies. Use your favorite cookie cutter. Half of the dough should be a whole cookie. The other half of the dough should have a smaller shape cut out in the center.
