Raspberry-Hazelnut Linzer Cookies
Beanland oh oh oh
Beanland oh oh oh
Beanland oh oh oh
Beanland now
(Sing it like the Northern Pikes.)
Still in beanland. Here, have a cookie. They don’t even have beans in them.
There’s something about cookies that require a bit of a production to make – the kind with lots of steps required and an end result that get oohed and ahhed over, and are almost (ALMOST) too pretty to eat. Linzer cookies – a fancy name for jam sandwiches – fall into this category. There is no better time of year to make sunroof-topped sandwich cookies than Valentine’s Day. If you’re proclaiming your undying adoration for someone via a batch of cookies, you had best put some effort into them, don’t you think? or some really good, expensive chocolate.
The recipe is over at the Family Kitchen.

Love the “Teenland” reference. I used to hang out with those guys…good times.

Thanks Julie! My mother won’t share the Linzer cookie recipe that’s been in the family for ages.
Linzer cookies are a tradition in my family at Christmas…I never would have thought to make them at any other time.

I am far too lazy/sloppy to make these (drop cookies all the way for me) but I adore the photo. And the cookies. Thanks for sharing.

So fun and pretty. And I bet you could make them taste good even if they did have beans in them.
