These Spice Linzer Cookies are delicious, flavorful, and super easy to make. These cookies can be filled with jams, nut butter, or caramel.
This cookie recipe has the same base as Spice Cookies With Maple Glaze, without the glaze topping. The Beauty of this Spice Linzer Cookies recipe is the variety of shapes and sizes. Depending on the occasion or the season, by using the proper cookie cutters, you can make a lot of different cookies. Also, the inside filling can vary from jam to buttercream or even straight caramel sauce.
About This Spice Linzer Cookie Recipe
- This recipe is the base of a range of Linzer cookies. Meaning you can eliminate the spice from the recipe and make just plain cookies. Or by adding some shredded coconut, you can have coconut Linzers.
- The other cool thing about this recipe is the shapes that you can make out of this recipe is endless. Use pumpkin or maple leaf cookie cutters, and create some Fall cookies. Use a star or snowflake cutter to make the Christmas cookies. So let your creativity go wild.
- I am using Apple Butter to fill up these cookies. However, the possibilities are endless. What you put in the middle of these cookies again can be anything from jams, nut butter, caramel, or Duce De Leche.
- The ingredients are very basic and no fancy equipment is required here.
- This cookie dough requires chilling time because it is more on the soft side, and as a result the cookies have a soft texture that melts in your mouth.
How To Make These Cookies
- Prepare the basic cookie dough, wrap it in cling wrap, and chill for two hours.
- Flour dust your surface, and roll out the cookie dough to ¼ inch thickness.
- Using your favorite cookie cutter, cut enough cookies. Because we are planning to put some apple butter in between the cookies, make half of the cookies with a hole design in the center.
- Bake the cookies and let them cool down. Place about one teaspoon of apple butter in the center of the flat cookie, then place the cookie with a hole in the center, over it. Let cookies chill for ten minutes.
Disclaimer: I highly recommend using the measurements in grams & ml (instead of cups & spoons) for more accuracy and better results.
