Linzer Cookies
Sometimes there’s nothing better than a sweet, simple cookie. I had an extra bag of almonds from when I made these, so I decided to put them to good use. For those who have never had a Linzer Cookie (recipe here), they’re typically reserved for the holidays, but I think they’re acceptable any time of the year. They’re light and and flaky and I always make a note to invite at least one girlfriend over for afternoon tea when I have a few of these lying around since they make an impact in the prettiest way.

linzer cookies are a year round treat!
Oh please, not now! I’m undergoing a detox after having way too many waffles with whipped cream, blueberries and chocolate sauce….

wow, these look like absolute perfection, and trust me, I would know!! Linz (the city where these babies originated) is only 2 hrs from where I live and we try to make these every year for christmas. For some reason my top and bottom pieces never seem to match as perfectly as yours do! like I said, perfection!!

Those are from a city called Linz here in Austria and I see them wrapped so nice and pretty in some of the bakeries, but I’ve never had one. Shame! Must try. Yours looks even better!
hey emily, really nice i love your cookies!
did you know: they’re actually called “spitzbuben” in german! meaning “naughty /cheeky boys”. referring to the face-shape that they mostly have (cut-out eyes and mouth). cute, huh?
enjoy the cheeky boys!

I absolutely LOVE hearts!! And those cookies are to die for!!
You did them so beautifully!
Wow cool.
Thats sooo funny. Do you know that the Linzer cookies originalle are from Austria were I am from.

Do these qualify as cookies or as tarts? Regardless, these would be perfect for an Alice in Wonderland themed tea party!

So cute! I’m positive you won’t have time during your stay in NYC, but there is a fantastic section of the Bronx called Arthur Avenue which is the REAL Little Italy of the city. The bakeries there make the most delicious linzer cookies (and cannolis — yum!).

Every single dessert recipe that you posted on your blog made me want to drop everything and head to the kitchen to make a batch of my own, and this one is no different! And judging by the list of ingredients, I’m sure that it tastes just as well as it looks!
We call these Jammie Dodgers in Ireland. Haha! They look delicious, what an adorable cookie!
These look absolutely lovely… Not to mention, I think the idea of a girls’ afternoon tea is wonderful! I might have to make these just to give myself a reason to begin this little ritual
http://alittlewhitemouse.blogspot.com/
beautiful! though i have to say it looks like a lot of work. i would be sure to mess it up somehow! haha
YuM! The jam on the inside is like icing on the cake
I’d have trouble eating just one;)
Wow, they look delicious!

These are my absolute favorite cookies of all time! I practically lived off of them when I was in Germany. Yours came out beautifully and I am definitely inspired to make some for my man on our 5 year anniversary. Thanks!!!

Linzer cookies are one of my very favorites (as long as they don’t add any almond extract – I love almonds but not extract). The loveliness is a bonus.

totally love how you made these! never had these cookies before either; your cookie posts always remind me of Christmas when my Granny and I would get together and bake dozens and dozens of cookies, I think she would’ve liked this recipe.
Also just finished watching the livestream of the IFB Conf and you were too adorable! It was nice to see you {kinda} in person. I had to be a work so had to watch it on my computer. Enjoy the rest of NYC!
YUM! I heard you were lovely at the IFB conf today – I couldn’t go but my co-blogger saw it! Have fun at the rest of fashion week.
