My daughter loves to buy me all sorts of cutters, cake pans and whatever is related to baking. She bought these Linzer Cookie Cutters when she was in Washington DC for a business trip and i had to play with my toy as soon as i get it and i love adapting the recipe which comes with the cutter and this is a keeper recipe.
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
2 cups sifted cake flour
1 tsp orange extract
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 jar raspberry or apricot jam
Method:
Mix butter, orange extract and sugar
Stir in 1 cup of flour at a time, mixing well (I put all the ingredients except the jam of course in a food processor and pulse until combined)
Chill the dough at least 2 hours
Roll out 1/2 of dough on cookie sheet to 1/4 inch thick and chill 30 minutes more.
Cut with linzer cookie cutter without an insert.
Remove excess dough and bake immediately at 350 f for 12 minutes.
Roll out other half of dough on a second cookie sheet and chill for 30 minutes.
Cut with the linzer cookie cutter with your choice of the 6 inserts in place.
Remove excess dough and bake immediately at 350 f for 12 minutes.
Cool completely.
Dust tops with powdered sugar.
Spread about 2 teaspoons jam on each cookie bottom.
Place tops over bottoms to create the sandwich effect.
Serves

i will always bake cookies on a lined tray with parchment/greaseproof paper and better still use the silpat/silicone liner for baking tray.
Made this tonite....wonderful and so pretty! Will be part of my holiday baking. Thank you!
