Ingredients

  • 1 cup (227g) butter
  • 1 cup (220g) brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons corn syrup
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 cups (500g) flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/3 cup (160g) raspberry jam

Instructions

  1. Combine butter, sugar and eggs and use an electric mixer to beat until light and fluffy. Add in the corn syrup until fully incorporated.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together all purpose flour, salt and baking soda. Gradually stir the bowl of dry ingredients into the butter mixture until combined (don’t over-mix, but make sure dough is completely combined).
  3. Form dough into 2 discs and wrap each in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven 350°F (175°C).
  4. Once dough has chilled, work with one disc at a time and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 1/8" inch thick sheet. Cut into your desired design and transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, spacing cookies at least 2” apart.
  5. Bake in a 350°F (175°C) preheated oven for 9-10 minutes or cookies are just beginning to turn light golden brown on the edges. Allow to cool completely before filling.
  6. Once cooled, dust the tops of all of your cookies that have the windows/cutouts. Spoon a heaping teaspoon of jam on the bottom of your remaining cookies and sandwich with one of your top cookies.
  7. Dust your cookies with powdered sugar and poof! Linzer cookies or (as I like to call them), jammie jams!
