Vanilla Apple Linzer Cookies

Recipes Cakes and Desserts
Linzer dough is the king of shortcrust pastries. The secret lies in the flour-to-fat ratio and cold processing. If the butter melts during kneading, the flour absorbs it, resulting in a hard cookie. If the butter pieces remain intact, they melt during baking for a tender crumb.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the dough cracking?
It's either too cold (let it sit briefly) or lacks moisture/fat. Knead quickly with wet hands.
