Linzer cookies

Linzer Cookies are named after a Linzer Torte, which was originated in Linz, Austria. The torte is a pastry traditionally filled with black currant preserves and topped with a lattice crust.

So the cookies take the same idea and flavors of the torte, but the dough is cut into cookies instead and sandwiched with the preserves. The cut out shape on top mimics the lattice crust!

Holiday show stopper recipes are these and there are countless versions, every family has its own recipe. I followed a combination of several recipes available on youtube. If you want to make an eggless recipe; follow this link--Linzer cookie
