Linzer Cookies

This melt-in-your-mouth holiday classic is irresistible with creamy hazelnut butter mixed right into the dough.

  • 1 stick butter ((1/2 cup))
  • 2/3 cup organic cane sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup Nuts To You Nut Butter ((Hazelnut or Almond Hazelnut))
  • 1/2 tsp organic vanilla flavour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cups organic all-purpose flour
  • Crofter’s Premium Raspberry Spread (for filling)
  1. Preheat oven to about 325°F.
  2. Cream Butter.
  3. Add sugar and egg yolks to butter gradually, continuing to cream. Mix in Nuts to You Butter and vanilla flavour.
  4. In a separate bowl mix baking powder into all-purpose flour. Add to the creamy mixture.
  5. With your hands, knead into a smooth dough.
  6. Shape dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Make sure there is enough space between the dough balls. With the end of a wooden cooking spoon, poke a hole into the centre of each ball and fill with Crofter’s Raspberry Spread. Using a reusable piping bag is recommended.
  8. Bake cookies for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Put on a metal rack to cool off before storing them in a cookie tin.
