Linzer Cookies are named after a Linzer Torte, which was originated in Linz, Austria. The torte is a pastry traditionally filled with black currant preserves and topped with a lattice crust. So the cookies take the same idea and flavors of the torte, but the dough is cut into cookies instead and sandwiched with the preserves. Lightly spiced, jam-filled linzer cookies (a smaller version of the classic linzer torte) are a traditional sandwich cookie with a tender texture and subtle nutty flavor that comes from finely ground almonds in the dough As with sugar cookies, which benefit from the addition of frosting, the dough for a linzer does not need to be too sweet: It's filled with a tangy raspberry jam and finished.

Instructions to make Linzer cookies:

In a bowl of an electric mixer, mix the butter (room temperature) until creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and mix. Than add in the same bowl, the egg yolks, vanilla extract, lemon or orange zest and mix for 2 minutes..
Add the almonds flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Mix!.
Finally add the flour all at once. Mix on low speed until the dough starts to come together. Dump onto a surface dusted with flour and shape into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic and pit it in the fridge for 20 minutes..
Roll the dough 1/4 inch and cut 2 3/4 inch rounds with a plain or fluted cutter. With 1/2 of the rounds, cut a hole from the middle of each round with a heart or round small shape. I cut them with a star shape...
Place all the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet and chill for 15 minutes..
Bake the cookies until the edges begin to brown. Allow to cool to room temperature..
Spread apricot or strawberry jam on the flat side of each solid cookie. Dust the top of cut-out cookies with powdered sugar and press the flat sides together with the raspberry jam in the middle and the powdered sugar on the top.
Enjoy them with your family!.
