Raspberry Jam Linzer Cookies Recipe

Raspberry Jam Linzer Cookies are a traditional holiday treat. They're buttery and nutty, with a raspberry jam filling for a burst of fruity flavour. To add a festive touch, dust them with confectioners' sugar.

Ingredients

Dust with confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 cup raspberry jam
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large egg yolks
2/3 cup granulated sugar

Time Needed

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 32 minutes

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
One at a time, beat in the egg yolks.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and cloves in a separate bowl.
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture gradually, beating until just combined.
Cut the dough in half and form each half into a disc.
Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Roll out one disc of dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch on a lightly floured surface.
Cut out as many cookies as you can with a 2-inch round cookie cutter.
Place the cookies on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper.
Reroll scraps as needed with the remaining dough.
Cut out the centres of half of the cookies with a smaller cookie cutter or a pastry tip.
Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
On each solid cookie, spread 1 teaspoon raspberry jam.
Confectioners' sugar should be sprinkled on the cookies with the cut-out centres.
Each jam-topped cookie should be topped with a sugar-dusted cookie.
