Linzer Cookies Recipe

Linzer cookies are no doubt some of the prettiest cookies around. Serve them for a dinner party and leave your guests in awe! Perfect for the Holiday Season, Valentine’s Day, or any special occasion.

The cookies are based on the classic Austrian Linzer torte, a nutty, jam-filled pastry with a lattice design on top. They are typically filled with raspberry or apricot jam, but you can use whatever jam you have on hand.
