Linzer Cookies


This is an egg less recipe which I had it first time in my son's pre-school Holiday party,the class teacher made this one.I really impressed with the cookies since its an egg less and requested for the recipe and gave me the recipe,tried it after couple of days.It came out perfectly,Today is the first day of blogging marathon#11 and I will be blogging under eggless baking.
Linzer cookies are delicious cookies in which two cookies are sandwiched with a layer of jam or preserves and there will be a small window in the top layer of the cookie.The jam or preserve applied in the cookie will be visible through the window and the top of the cookie is dusted with powdered sugar.Traditionally for this cookie black currant preserves are used,but here I used the strawberry preserves.

Ingredients


IngredientQuantity
All purpose flour1cup
Sugar1/3cup
Butter1/2cup
Almond powder1/3cup
Corn Starch1tbs
Salt1/2tsp
Vanilla extract1/2tsp
Baking powder1/2tsp
Strawberry jam/preserves1/3cup
Powdered sugarfor dusting


Method 


                        Powder the almonds with corn starch to a coarse powder.Mix in flour,salt and baking powder together.
Cream in the butter and sugar in a hand blender till it becomes frothy,add in the vanilla extract and mix it well.
Now slowly add the flour mixture(1/4cup at a time)and blend it well then the almond powder and mix it well to form a dough.
Divide the dough into two equal parts,wrap it individually in a cling wrap and keep it in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes to get firm.
Roll out the dough into 1/8 inch thickness on a floured surface and with a cookie cutter cut into desired shape for the bottom part.For the top part cut out the center with a small cookie cutter of the same shape or different shape.
Arrange it on a lined baking tray and bake it in the oven for 8-12 minutes,at 350 degree F(it took 9 mins).Let it cool completely.
Meanwhile heat the jam or preserves in a pan on the stove or microwave oven and stir it till becomes dropping consistency.
Keep 1/2 tsp of it on the bottom layer of the cookie and cover it with the top layer cookie(with the window)layer.Arrange the cookies,on a plate sprinkle some powdered sugar.
Linzer cookies are ready.

Enjoy.......

  • Use a sharp spatula to take the rolled dough to the baking tray,otherwise it will break.
  • Make sure the almond is powdered coarsely.
  • Sprinkle the powdered sugar first to the top layer then it can be arranged.
  • While heating the jam in the MW,heat it in the high power for 2 minutes only. 
  • Make sure to keep the bottom layer of the cookie upside down while keeping the jam,so that both sides will be even.
