Linzer Cookies
The perfect linzer cookies recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
- 4 Egg yolk
- 1 pinch Salt
- 500 g Flour
- Pulp v.1 / 2 vanilla pod
- 300 g Fine sugar
- 300 g Butter
- 100 g Ground almonds
- Flour for rolling
- 250 g Red currant jelly
- Prepare a shortcrust pastry with all the ingredients. Cool it well so that it can be processed better later. I prefer to prepare the dough with my hands. So you have a good feeling for the consistency and smoothness. If the batter is too dry and the ingredients don’t combine well, add a few drops of water. A little is usually enough. After cooling, roll out. Roll out the dough 3-4 mm and cut out circles with a mold. You do this in equal parts as whole circles and as circles with a recess. There are no limits to the imagination. With a smaller shape you cut out a middle. In my case, I chose a heart! Always count nicely when baking! Now bake the cookies at 175 degrees for about 10-12 minutes. You need a top and a bottom for each cookie! If you’re a bit distracted like me, you end up with 20 bottoms and only 17 tops! : -) … (Doesn’t matter, you can easily plaster the rest of them at the same time !!! :-)) When the biscuits have cooled down, you heat the currant jelly in a potty. You coat all the undersides with it and place the top on it. Now put the biscuits again briefly for 5 minutes in the oven (180-200 degrees) so that the jelly dries. Dust the biscuits nicely with powdered sugar and …… ready! Keep in a can!
