Hi Everyone, do you have fond memories of eating these delightful, sandwich cookies filled with fruit preserves?
I remember them from cookie swaps and tins full of Christmas cookies during December when I was young.
I also enjoyed Pepperidge Farm Linzer Cookies and sometimes my paternal grandmother would have them or similar cookies when we visited my grandparents during the holidays.
It is believed that Linzer cookies originated from a recipe called Linzer Torte from Austria in Europe.
Linzer cookies are made of flour, salt, butter, ground almonds, sugar and filled with fruit preserves.
They do not contain any leveners like baking powder or baking soda.
