Linzer cookies


10.5 oz / 300 g flour
7 oz / 200 g butter
3.5 oz /100 g powdered sugar
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
lemon zest (optional)
favourite marmelade

In general this recipe is 3:2:1 flour:butter:sugar.

Knead together all the ingredience till you have a thick dough. Dont give up, it looks like the dough will never come together but it will. Wrap the dough in cling foil and let rest in cold place for about 1 hour.

Roll out the dough on slightly flour dusted surface to thin patty and cut various shapes of your cookies. To prevent sticking on the roling pin you can roll the dough over the cling foil. Transfer cookies to the baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 8 minutes on 350 F / 175 C till the edges starting to be lightly brown. You can re-roll the rest of dough and make more cookies.

Let sit and cool down a bit and then take of the baking sheet. Leave them to fully cool down then sandwich them with your favourite marmelade (I use strawberry or raspberry one). Before serving you can dust them with powdered sugar, you can decorate them with chocolate or sprikles, its up to your fantasy.
