Raspberry Linzer Hearts
These are a repost of what I made last year, and what I'm baking off today. I simply love these cookies. I'm off to finish my Valentines.....Have you finished yours???
These are a wonderful cookie at Valentines or any other time. Linzer is a name for a nut shortbread cookie or tart, usually sandwiched together. They can be made with a heart shape or a nice round crinkle cut cutter. They can be time consuming, so make sure you give yourself enough time to make these great cookies.
I especially enjoy these with a cup of tea. The hint of raspberries and almonds, is a wonderful combination. After you make them it is best to let them sit overnight before packing, so that the jam can dry like glue to hold them together.
1-1/4 cups butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cups ground almonds
Raspberry jam
Confectioners' sugar
