Linzer Cookies
Linzer cookies are traditionally cookies from Austria made from ground nuts and filled with raspberry jam. However, the not-so-traditional me decided to make it with sugar cookie dough and strawberry jam. Still tasted delish, even if I do say so myself.
There's a special Linzer cookie cutter that allows you to punch the outline and the gap in the middle in one punch. The center is interchangable so you can have different shaped holes in the middle.
I particularly like the heart shaped punched out hole. The difficult thing about this cookie is trying to handle the punched out piece without deforming it. However, I guess practice makes perfect. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that I don't refrigerate the dough before going ahead with the punching - I'm too impatient.
I guess I should make it my personal mission to cultivate patience in my life.
