🌟 Linzer Biscuit Recipe – Austrian Christmas Cookies

Linzer Biscuits (or Linzer Cookies) are classic Austrian treats made from buttery almond dough sandwiched with jam, usually raspberry or apricot. They are a festive favorite during Christmas but delicious year-round. Their delicate nutty flavor, crumbly texture, and jewel-like jam centers make them a showstopper on any dessert table.

📝 Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup almond flour (or finely ground almonds)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup raspberry or apricot jam
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Make the dough – In a bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg yolk, vanilla, almond flour, and mix. Slowly add flour, cinnamon, and salt. Form dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, and chill for 1 hour.
  2. Roll & cut – Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll dough on a floured surface to ¼ inch thickness. Cut out rounds with a cookie cutter. For half of them, cut out small centers (to form the top layer).
  3. Bake – Place cookies on a lined baking tray and bake 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Cool completely.
  4. Assemble – Spread jam on whole cookies, then top with cut-out cookies. Dust with powdered sugar.
  5. Serve & enjoy – Store in an airtight container; flavors improve the next day.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • Perfect with tea or coffee
  • Great as holiday gifts in cookie boxes
  • Serve with mulled wine or hot chocolate in winter
