Chocolate Linzer Cookies

Chocolate-filled Linzer cookies are the perfect holiday treat. They also make a really cute gift nestling in pretty boxes for friends and loved ones.

These chocolate Linzer cookies are moist and soft, while the cream is a delicious chocolate ganache. A real treat, I promise!

And the best part is that they stay soft and fresh for up to a week, though I’m pretty sure they won’t last that long—they’ll be gobbled up in no time :)) Enjoy!

Cuisine Austrian
Servings 12 pieces

Ingredients
 
 

For the dough:

  • 250 g flour
  • 250 g butter
  • 60 g almond flour or very finely ground almonds
  • 150 g sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 tbsp cold water added after the batter has been mixed

For the chocolate cream:

  • 150 g milk chocolate chips
  • 150 ml heavy whipping cream

For decorating:

  • powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • To make the cookies dough, crumble the butter and flour and add the rest of the dough ingredients. Add a tablespoon of cold water and knead until it comes together to form a ball.
  • Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until you get a thin 1-2 mm ( ~1/16 inch) sheet (as in the picture below). Leave it in the fridge exactly like this for about 1 hour (rolled out perfectly, do not roll up or fold).

  • In the meantime, heat the whipping cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer (almost to boiling point).
    Add the finely chopped milk chocolate to the hot cream and stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Let the ganache cool to room temperature before using.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and cut out the Linzer shapes using a Linzer cookie cutter. For each cookie, you’ll need one solid piece and one with a cutout in the center.
    Linzer Cookies with Chocolate Cream
  • Bake the cookies for 15 minutes at 180 °C/356 °F (preheated oven) or until golden brown around the edges.

  • Let the cookies cool and then start assembling them. Place the chocolate ganache on a full cookie and place a cut-out cookie on top.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy with your loved ones.
  • You can store them in zip lock bags, cookie tins or jars.

I simply love cooking and talking about food and recipes so much so that I dropped my successful corporate advertising career five years ago to become a full-time food blogger. And I couldn't be happier. What excites me? Sharing flavors that transport me back to my childhood, using the tricks I learned from my mom for preparing treats, and experimenting with new ingredients while exploring the forgotten corners of local (and beyond) gastronomy.

Turned out great and adorable. Loved the ease of making them, but I will have to make a bigger batch next time 😀
