Tip

Every oven is different, so keep an eye on your Linzer cookies. They should stay pale, that means only slightly golden. For example, you can cut out round-shaped cookies, half of them with a cut-out center. After baking, spoon some jam onto your cookies, currant being the most traditional one. Slightly spicy marmalade works well, as the dough itself is sweet. You can dust the finished cookies with confectioner’s sugar. For making Linzer cookies, you will need various cookie cutters, baking paper and plastic wrap.
