LINZER COOKIES. VALENTINE EDITION.

Monday, February 6, 2023 Lagos, Nigeria

I love me a good Linzer cookie. I was inspired to make this heart shaped to celebrate the holiday of love coming up next week. 

    

    List of ingredients:

 

      460g butter (firm)

      1 cup sugar

      1 tbsp. vanilla extract

      3 and half cup flour

 

    Procedure:

 

1.     Using a mixer bowl add your butter and beat for 2mins using a beater. 

2.     Add sugar and beat for another 2mins. While beating add vanilla extract and beat for another 1min.

3.     Keep beating and add your flour gradually till it forms a thick firm dough. 

4.     Transfer dough to a clean surface and form dough into a disk like form. Wrap dough in a cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour. 

5.     After an hour. On a clean surface dust with flour, and roll out the dough to 2-inch thickness.

6.     Use a 2.5-inch cookie cutter (use any shape of your choice) cut out the dough. After creating the cookie shape, use a 1-inch cookie cutter to cut out the centers from half of the cut shape (this will be the top halves of the cookies).

7.     Transfer the cookies to a baking sheets pan covered with parchment paper, spacing about 1 inch apart.

8.     Bake for 25mins in 180 °C oven.. Then place on a cooling rack and let it cool.

9.     After cooling. Lightly sift icing sugar over the cookie tops, and spread 1 teaspoon jam on each of the bottom halves (use any jam of your choice). Sandwich both halves together.

 

Enjoy.
