Add flour, baking powder, ground almonds, and lemon peel and mix at low speed until well blended.
4

Shape the dough into two disks and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
5

About 10 minutes before taking the dough out of the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 350℉.
6

Roll out 1 disk of dough at a time to ⅛ inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. The dough will be stiff. Keep the remaining dough refrigerated.

Cut and remove a 1-inch holiday-shaped hole from the center of half of the cookies. Place the cookies on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake at 350℉ for 8-9 minutes or until the edges just start to brown.

Let the cookies cool for 1 minute then remove from the cookie sheets and place on wire racks.

|
Cool for 10 minutes or until completely cooled.
12

Spread the cooled whole cookies with a thin layer of jam, leaving a ¼ inch border. Top them with the cutout cookies and press gently.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Almond Flour Finesse 🥜Toast ground almonds before incorporating them into the dough to enhance their nutty flavor and create a more complex taste profile for your Linzer cookies.
- Chill for Perfection 🧊Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 1 hour before rolling out to prevent spreading and ensure clean, precise cutouts with crisp edges.
- Jam Jamming Technique 🍓Use a piping bag or squeeze bottle to apply raspberry jam for a neat, controlled fill that prevents messy overflow and creates a professional-looking sandwich cookie.
- Powdered Sugar Hack 🍬Dust powdered sugar just before serving to prevent moisture absorption, keeping the cookies crisp and maintaining their delicate, snowy appearance.
- Window Cutout Pro Tip 🔪Use a small offset spatula or thin knife to carefully transfer delicate cutout cookie tops to prevent breaking, ensuring a pristine final presentation.
