Ingredients (with quantities):
Instructions:
👨🍳 1) Chill the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine 175g of butter, 100g of sugar, 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract, 265g of flour, and 1/8 tsp of salt. Mix until the dough comes together. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
👨🍳 2) Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
👨🍳 3) Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
👨🍳 4) Cut Out Shapes: Using Linzer cookie cutters or regular cookie cutters, cut the dough into your desired shapes. For half of the cookies, cut smaller shapes from the centers, creating a "window."
👨🍳 5) Bake: Place the cookies on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Be sure to keep a close eye on them, as baking times may vary.
👨🍳 6) Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack.
👨🍳 7) Assemble Linzer Cookies: Spread a thin layer of jam or preserves on the solid cookies (the ones without the center cutout). Place the cookies with the cutout on top to create sandwich-style cookies.
👨🍳 8) Dust with Powdered Sugar: Dust the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
👨🍳 9) Serve and Enjoy: Your Linzer Cookies are now ready to be served and enjoyed.
