Author's Notes

For the remaining inner circles, I made these with some melted chocolate on top. For this, I melted in the microwave 25g of dark chocolate with 1 Tbsp of unsalted butter, and drizzled it over the "mini cookies" and left it until the chocolate got slightly hard.

For an authentic Linzer cookie substitute 75gr of all-purpose flour for almond flour and add the zest of one lemon.

step 1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
step 2
In a mixer or bowl soften the Unsalted Butter (1 cup). Add the Granulated Sugar (1/2 cup) and beat until it forms a soft cream. Add the Egg (1) and mix until all has combined.

step 3
Then add the Vanilla Extract (1 tsp) and continue to mix. Add the All-Purpose Flour (3 cups) and mix until a soft but firm dough has formed.

On a floured surface make the dough into a ball and then extend using a rolling pin until the dough is approx 0.4-cm to 0.5-cm thick.

step 5
Using a medium cookie cutter cut a large biscuit, then using a small cutter cut a circle in the middle of the large circle to make the top half of the biscuit.
step 6
Once all the dough is used, place the cookies in a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees C (180 degrees C) for 13 to 15 minutes until they start to turn a very light golden brown.
step 7
Once the cookies are done, leave them to rest for 5 minutes on the tray and then carefully place them in a cooling rack until fully cooled down.
step 8
To fill them take one of the “blind” circles and add about 1 tsp of Cherry Jam (as needed), then place one of the “open” halves on top and press carefully to set both biscuits. Top with Powdered Confectioners Sugar (to taste).
