Move over Shortbread. We have a twist on traditional Linear treats!
Pretty, with their top dusted with a thin white coating of powdered sugar and
a cutout so you can see the color of the jam. Use your favourite jam filling
and enjoy!
Tenderflake Linzer Cookies
INGREDIENTS
. 2 boxes Tenderflake Deep Dish pie shells
. 1 egg, beaten
. 1 cup (250 mL) raspberry or strawberry jam
. Icing sugar for dusting
METHOD
Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Line two baking sheets with
parchment paper. Set aside.
Prep Time: 5 min
Total Time: 1 hour
Skill Level: Basic/Easy
# Servings: 24
Roll out pie shells on a lightly floured surface until flat. Using a
2-inch (5 cm) star cookie cutter, cut out 12 stars from each pie
shell. Repeat with remaining pie shells. Use a 1-inch (2.5 cm)
star cutter to cut a star from the center of half of the stars (24).
Reroll scraps to cut remaining stars. Transfer all of the stars to
the baking sheets and brush with egg.
Bake in the top and bottom third of the pre-heated oven for
about 10 -12 minutes, rotating pans halfway through for even
browning. Remove from oven when golden and transfer to rack
to cool completely.
Put a spoonful of jam in the centre of each full star. Top with
stars with the cutouts. Dust generously with icing sugar.
Makes 24 cookies.
