Are you familiar with Frog Prince Cake and Cookie Design?
Listen, I don’t want to tell you what to do, or who you should follow on Facebook, but go “Like” them right now! (Click Here)
Did you do it? Good. Then while you were there you should have notice how unbelievably talented Linda is. And she is self -taught. What?!
Are you kidding me?
Look at this cake (it’s one of my favorites)
Today Linda is sharing her recipe for Linzer cookies:
I make my linzer cookies without almonds because my younger daughter, Kati has nut allergies. They’re still very good! My girls and I LOVE anything with raspberries so we always look forward to making these at Christmas which strangely, is the only time I make them! {Might have to change that!!!} : )
(how adorable is this picture of Linda’s cookies?!)
Ingredients~
1/2 c. sugar
2 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. milk
1 c. soft butter
Raspberry jam
1/2 c. confectioners’ sugar(for dusting cookies)
Cream butter & sugar in an electric mixer then add vanilla.
Sift dry ingredients together & add to the butter mixture, mix on medium speed until well combined then
stir in milk . Chill dough for a few hours then roll out on parchment paper. Use a circle cutter (or whatever shape you’d like) to cut out cookies.
Cut a circle in the center of half of the cookies. (You can use small cookie cutters to spell out words, as I’ve done).
Bake at 350 for around 12 minutes (or until the edges start to brown).
Cool cookies on a wire rack
spread raspberry jam on the cookies
without the holes. Dust the cookie tops with confectioner’s sugar then place on top of the jam.
Thanks Linda!
Enjoy.
