Cinnamon & Cheese Linzer Cookies

In this recipe, the cheese dominates: we use double the amount of cheese compared to flour, resulting in an incredibly soft, almost creamy interior structure after baking. The warmth of the cinnamon perfectly complements the slightly tangy flavor of the cheese.

⚠️ Egg

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Press the farmer's cheese through a sieve.

Tip: Due to the large amount of cheese, removing lumps is especially important for the dough to come together.
2 ✓

Beat the egg with the sugar and cinnamon until the sugar mostly dissolves.

Tip: Dissolving the cinnamon in the egg mixture helps it distribute more evenly in the dough than mixing it with the flour. (Dispersion)
3 ✓

Crumble the butter into the flour, then add the cheese and the egg mixture. Knead together.

Tip: If the cheese is very wet, squeeze out the whey before using.
4 ✓

Chill the dough in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, wrapped in plastic.

Tip: This step is essential because the cold butter will help hold the shape at the beginning of baking.
5 ✓

Roll out to 1/4 inch (5 mm) thick on a well-floured surface, cut out shapes, and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 8-10 minutes.

Tip: Be quick, as the dough becomes sticky quickly from the warmth of your hands.
6 ✓

Once cooled, sandwich with jam and dust the tops with a little cinnamon.

Tip: Cinnamon essential oils are truly activated by heat, but dusting adds a fresh aroma.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the dough very sticky?
This is natural due to the large amount of cheese. Use plenty of flour for rolling and work with cold dough.
How long do they last?
Due to the high moisture content, it's best to store them in the fridge and consume within 3-4 days.
