Orange & Apple Linzer Cookies

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
A fresh twist on the classic Linzer: orange zest kneaded into the dough releases essential oils during baking, permeating the buttery cookie. The apple in the filling uses its pectin to thicken the jam, preventing it from running out.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the flour, confectioners' sugar, salt, and orange zest.

Tip: Rub the orange zest into the sugar with your fingers to release the oils.
2 ✓

Cut in the cold butter with quick movements until crumbly.

Tip: Cold hands, cold butter = flaky dough.
3 ✓

Add the egg, squeezed apple, vanilla, and orange juice. Knead, then chill for 30 minutes.

Tip: The wet apple makes the dough softer; chilling is mandatory!
4 ✓

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Roll out dough and cut shapes (tops and bottoms).

Tip: Flour your board generously as the apple makes it sticky.
5 ✓

Bake for 10-12 minutes until pale golden.

Tip: Do not let them brown too much or they will taste bitter.
6 ✓

Cool, then sandwich with jam. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Tip: Let stand for a few hours before serving.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the cookies shrink?
You didn't rest the dough enough, so the gluten strands snapped back (elasticity).
