Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Raspberry Linzer Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ground almonds, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk and vanilla, mixing until creamy.
  4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms. Divide, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
  5. Roll out the dough to ⅛-inch thickness and cut into rounds, using a smaller cutter for half of them.
  6. Place cut-out cookies on baking sheets and bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
  7. Once cooled, spread raspberry preserves on the solid cookie bottoms and top with a cut-out cookie.
  8. Dust the assembled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
