Ingredients needed to make this Linzer cookie recipe

  • unbleached all-purpose flour
  • baking powder
  • salt
  • unsalted butter, softened
  • a large egg
  • pure almond extract
  • seedless raspberry jam
  • sifted powdered sugar

Directions to make Raspberry Linzer Sandwich Cookies

  1. In a small bowl whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl with a hand mixer or in a stand mixer beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and creamy. Add the egg and almond extract to the bowl and beat well until all the ingredients are completely combined.
  3. Add half of the flour mixture to the bowl with the butter and sugar mixture. Beat on low until the flour is mixed in well. Scrap the sides of the bowl with a spatula and add the remaining flour to the bowl.
  4. Beat the flour in until combined well. Divide the linzer cookie dough in half. Wrap each half in plastic wrap and chill for at least two hours.
  5. Prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper before beginning with the dough. Preheat the oven at this time. (see notes)
  6. Once the dough has chilled remove half the dough from the refrigerator. Roll the linzer dough out to a ¼ inch thickness on a well floured surface. Dust the rolling pin with flour as needed so the linzer dough doesn't stick as you roll it.
  7. Use a 2 ½ inch circle cookie cutter to cut the cookies out. Make sure you cut a even number of circles out of the dough. Cut the center out of half of the cookies with a small ¾ inch star cookie or fondant cutter.
  8. Place the cut out cookies on a lined baking sheet and bake for 9 to 12 minutes until the edges of the cookie are just starting to turn golden. Do not over bake.
  9. Cool the cookies on a cooling rack.
  10. Place a scant teaspoon of raspberry jam in the center of each cookie without the center cut out. Place a cookie with the center cut out ontop of the jam topped cookie. Gently press the cookies together. Dust the filled cookies with powdered sugar.
  11. Store in an airtight container for 1 week.
  12. Makes about 16 large cut out Raspberry Linzer sandwich cookies.

Tips for baking perfect Christmas Cookies

  • Follow the cookie recipe exactly using the exact ingredients listed in the recipe.
  • Line your baking sheets with parchment paper which help the cookie brown evenly on the bottom.
  • Parchment paper also prevents the cookies from sticking to the cookie sheet. It also helps with clean up.
  • Work with chilled dough. Soft warm dough will spread while baking.
  • After rolling and cutting out the cookies put the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes to chill before baking. This helps the cookie keep its shape.
  • Use a tooth pick to easily remove the center cut out of the Linzer cookie. This will help the weakened cookie hold its shape.
