Linzer Cookies With Raspberry Jam – Perfect for Valentine’s Day!

 
Classic buttery Linzer cookies tweaked for Valentine’s Day with raspberry jam and dusted with powdered sugar. Makes a great teacher gift!
 
Ingredients:
 
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup slivered almonds
  • 1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus more for dusting
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 8 oz raspberry jam
Instructions:
 
  • In a large bowl, whisk flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
  • In a food processor, add almonds and brown sugar. Pulse until they’re finely ground. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, beat butter and powdered sugar using an electric mixer on low speed. When combined, increase speed to medium-high and beat until creamy (1 minute).
  • Add in egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Mix.
  • Add in almond mixture. Mix.
  • On low speed, gradually add in flour mixture. Mix until combined.
  • Form the dough into a ball and wrap it in a sheet of plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for 2 hours.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 F.
  • Dust your work surface with flour and take out the dough from the fridge. Cut the dough in half and roll out each half evenly until it’s 1/8″-1/6″ thick.
  • Cut into heart shapes with a cookie cutter. Using a smaller heart shape cookie cutter, cut out small hearts into the centers of half of the hearts.
  • Transfer the hearts onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Space them about 1″ apart. If the hearts have warmed up, place them in the fridge for a few minutes. They must go into the oven cold.
  • Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden. Cool on wire racks.
  • Spread jam over the whole hearts and top with heart that’s been cut out in the center.
  • Dust cookies with powdered sugar.
  • Store in an airtight container.
