Instructions
 

Linzer Cookie Dough

  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat 1 cup butter and ⅔ cup granulated sugar on medium-high speed for a couple of minutes until lighter in color.
  • Add in 1 egg yolk, 2 teaspoon almond extract, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed until combined.
  • Whisk together 2 cups flour, ⅔ cup almond flour, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a separate bowl.
  • Mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture on low speed until JUST incorporated. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula between additions.
  • Divide the dough in half and wrap each portion in plastic wrap. Flatten to about ¼ inch tall.
  • Chill the dough in the fridge for about 45 minutes.
  • Turn on the oven to 350°F/175°C and line two large baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.
  • Take one piece of dough out of the fridge, dust with flour and roll to ⅛ inch thick.
  • Cut out 1 ½-inch scalloped rounds and remove centers from half the cookies.
  • Bake for 9-10 minutes on middle rack until edges start to brown. Let cookies cool for 15 minutes.
  • Knead the cookie dough scraps and chill again. Repeat with the second chilled portion.

  • Dust the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar.
  • Spread 2 teaspoon of jam on each bottom cookie and top with cut-out cookie, squeezing gently to spread the jam.
