LINZER HEART COOKIES
Named after the jam-filled linzertorte that inspired them, these beautiful heart-shaped cookies are ideal for a wedding dessert buffet, Valentine's Day, or any romantic occasion. Apricot, strawberry, or cherry jam can be substituted for the seedless raspberry jam in this recipe.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Toast hazelnuts until skins darken and begin to split, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a clean dish towel, and rub vigorously to remove skins; discard skins. Place nuts in a food processor; pulse until medium fine.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and granulated sugar at medium-high speed until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs; beat until smooth, about 3 minutes. Beat in vanilla.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, hazelnuts, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and zest. Add to butter mixture; beat to combine, about 1 minute. Place in freezer until very firm, about 30 minutes.
- Liberally dust a clean surface with flour, and roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out seventy-two hearts. To make top halves of cookies, use a 1-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out centers from thirty-six of the hearts.
- Transfer cookies to prepared baking sheets, and bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack until completely cooled.
- Lightly sift confectioners' sugar over cookie tops. Spread about 1 teaspoon jam on each of the bottom halves, and sandwich both halves together. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
LINZER HEART SANDWICH COOKIES
Linzer heart sandwich cookies add a bit of pizazz to any dessert table and they're a breeze to make! The shortbread-like dough rolls so easily and doesn't require any chilling before baking. You can substitute a variety of jams for filling these cookies for a beautiful mix of colors and flavors.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter, sugar, baking powder, salt and lemon zest. Mix on low to combine, then raise to medium speed and cream until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and mix on medium speed until combined, about 30 seconds.
- Scrape the bowl and mix another few seconds. Add the all-purpose flour and almond flour and blend on low until combined. The dough will be very stiff. Once mixed, use your hand to incorporate any remaining flour by pressing and turning the dough around in the bowl.
- Take about half of the dough and roll out between two pieces of parchment to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a light sprinkling of all-purpose flour if the dough sticks to the parchment.
- For the cookie tops, cut out 16 to 18 cookies with a floured 2 3/4-inch heart-shaped cutter and arrange on one of the prepared baking sheets. Cut out the center of each solid heart with a smaller (such as 1 3/4-inch) heart-shaped cutter.
- For the cookie bottoms, gather the scraps and the other half of the dough and reroll. Cut out 16 to 18 more 2 3/4-inch hearts. Leave them solid and arrange on the second prepared baking sheet (see Cook's Note).
- Bake the cookie tops, rotating the baking sheet halfway through baking, until golden, 7 to 8 minutes. Bake the solid heart cookie bottoms, rotating the baking sheet halfway through baking, until golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the trays before filling.
- Lightly dust the cookie tops with confectioners' sugar and set aside.
- Use a butter knife or small offset spatula to spread 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of jam over each cookie bottom. Carefully add the cookie tops. Place the remaining jam into a resealable plastic bag, snip off the end and pipe a bit into the center of each heart to fill in the space. The sandwich cookies can be store in a single layer in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Steps:
- For the cookie batter: In the bowl of an electric mixer, whip the butter until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and continue mixing until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, 5 to 8 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine and mix the flour, almonds, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Mix and roll the cookies: Because this dough has a good amount of butter, it needs resting time and it needs to be rolled fairly quickly. Lay three large pieces of wax paper in a single layer on a flat surface. Sprinkle each one with a light coating of flour. Remove the bowl from the mixer and, using a rubber spatula, blend the flour mixture in with the butter. When the ingredients are fully integrated, place one third of the batter on each of the pieces of wax paper. Coat with another light layer of flour and top with another piece of wax paper of the same length to make three dough "sandwiches." Press these wax-paper-and-dough-sandwiches down with your hands until the dough is fairly thin. This will save a lot of time on rolling later on. Place two of them in the refrigerator and work with them one at a time. Roll the first batch into as neat a shape as possible. What matters most is avoiding creases or cracks and getting it to about 1/8 inch in thickness. When the first is rolled, refrigerate it and repeat the same process for the other two. Let them chill at least 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Make the cookie bottoms: Remove the first rolled sheet from the refrigerator and cut as many 1 1/2-inch stars (or rounds) as you can. Reserve the scraps in the refrigerator. Arrange the stars neatly in a single layer on a greased baking sheet. Repeat with the other two sheets, reserving any scraps.
- Make the cookie tops: Cut a star, with the smaller cutter, out of the center of half of all the cookies. Roll the scraps in between two of the pieces of wax paper and cut additional stars, if desired.
- Bake and assemble the cookie sandwiches: Bake the cookies until they are lightly brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the trays from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the trays for a few minutes before gently transferring them to a flat surface. P
- Place the raspberry jam in a small pot and bring it to a light simmer. Remove from the heat to cool slightly. Spoon 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon raspberry jam on each bottom and place a top star squarely on each. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.

LINZER HEART SANDWICH COOKIES
I tried a couple Linzer recipes, and this dough was my favorite. It produces a delicate and tender cookie with lots of room for imagination when it comes to fillings. Prep time includes 2 hours of chilling time for the dough. Note: As you rework leftover dough, it will need to be chilled again before cutting out new cookies. I suggest working in batches and placing re-worked dough in the freezer as you bake your cookies. I typically manage to get 15 complete sandwich cookies from this recipe. Adapted from Wilton.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine flour, ground almonds, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Mix well.
- Add flour mixture to butter mixture, mixing only until incorporated.
- Divide dough into 2 pieces. Press each piece into a small disk (about 1-inch thick) between two sheets of parchment paper. Wrap each piece in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm enough to roll (the dough is very sticky to work with otherwise).
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Work with one piece of dough at a time while the remainder stays in the fridge. On a floured surface, roll out one disk of dough 1/8-inch thick.
- Using cookie cutters of your choosing (I love hearts), cut out pieces of dough. For half of your cookies, punch out the center of the cookies with a smaller cookie cutter for that classic Linzer sandwich presentation.
- Any remaining dough scraps can be reused, but they must be chilled for at least 30 minutes before they are rerolled.
- Bake cookies 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, spread the whole/bottom cookies with about a teaspoon of jam (or filling of your choosing).
- Dust the top of the top cookies with confectioners' sugar.
- Gently sandwich jam'ed bottom and top cookies together.
