Rich with hazelnuts and tart from berry jam.
The Austrian origins of Linzer cookies are much easier to trace. They are simply a cookie-fied version of the classic Austrian dessert Linzer torte, a nut-based cake with a lattice top and jam filling, often red currant or raspberry. The cookies, which are particularly popular in North America, follow a similar theme, with buttery, nut-enriched shortbread sandwiching a jammy filling.
Start by toasting skin-on hazelnuts in a 350°F oven until the skin starts to blister, which takes roughly 10 to 15 minutes. Let them cool slightly, then rub off the skins using a clean kitchen towel. Once the nuts are completely cooled, pulse them in a food processor until finely ground. For the cookies, half the dough is rolled out and punched to form the solid bottom cookies, then baked. While they're cooling, the other half of the dough is rolled out and punched to form the top cookies, which have a cutout in the center of each. When they've finished baking and cooled, spread the jam on the bottom cookies, shower confectioner's sugar over the top cookies, and sandwich them together.
