Fantastic, crispy linzer cookies for the holiday table, as a treat for a visitor 🙂 Or just to sweeten the weekday with coffee 🙂
1.
In one bowl, first mix flour, sugar, PDP and a pinch of salt with a spoon. Then add the completely softened butter, egg yolks and yoghurt. Make a semi-soft, soft dough, which you shape into a loaf and leave to rest, covered, for 30 minutes.
2.
After the time has elapsed, roll out the dough on a floured board to a thickness of 3mm.
3.
Then cut out circles from the dough, I made bigger ones, they were 7,5cm in diameter 🙂 I cut out so that I had less scraps left and therefore some were not nice and round, but I don’t mind at all 🙂 You need to cut out as many circles as you have to pair. Then cut out the centre half of the whole lot. I also made mine so much bigger, I used a cough syrup measuring cup 🙂
4.
Place the rolls on a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 190°C for about 11-12minutes. It is necessary to keep track of it. The cookies should only be pink, faintly pale brown 🙂
5.
Finally, stick the cooled scones together with any thicker jam. I used cherry jam, sour jam fits better 🙂 Don’t skimp on the jam at all, make sure there’s plenty of it. I left the little rings from the centers so clean because they taste great on their own like that. Put the glued cookies in a box and let them set until the next day. This is so that the jam settles and the cookies soften up nicely too 🙂
6.
On the second day, prepare the chocolate icing with which to decorate the cookies. I ran the milk chocolate with 1kl of heavy cream. But feel free to make the frosting to suit you 🙂
7.
Next thing to do is to decorate the top of the cupcakes with chocolate. I also left a few pieces without chocolate and just sprinkled powdered sugar on top
8.
The cookies are beautifully soft and crispy the next day. They taste really fantastic, even uncoated, just plain 🙂 They taste great, like biscuits. I really recommend to try them. I personally don’t even make any other linzer cookies anymore, these are my TOP 🙂 I’ve tried a lot of them, but none of them come close to these 🙂
9.
They are suitable for treating a visitor, whether for the Holidays or for a party 🙂

From this batch I got 20pcs of glued together cookies with a diameter of 7,5cm. I hope that you will not be disappointed 🙂
