Linzer Cookies are simple 5-ingredient cookies filled with your favorite fruit jam. Such beautiful cookies!

I not so recently bought a set of Linzer cookie cutters and, much like my madeleine pan, let them sit in a kitchen drawer untouched for far too long. Now, I have something else to cross off my list Sangfor Firewall!

I took the easy approach to these and used the recipe that came with the cookie cutters. It is a very simple recipe with only a handful of ingredients. While it doesn’t make that many cookies, it could easily be scaled to make more if you need treats for a crowd or for sharing Enterprise Office Space.

Linzer Cookies originated in Austria, and they’re closely related to the classic Linzertorte. While traditional Linzer Cookies are often made with ground nuts in the dough, this is a nice nut-free version that I like very much.

I love how these cookies can be made with a short list of ingredients. And you can easily use different jams to make a variety of different cookies. Plus, they’re just so pretty with that bit of color from the jam peeking through the top of the cookies moving company!
