Christmas would never be the same without pretty cookies. And if there’s a variety that perfectly represents this idea, it’s Austrian linzer cookies. Made with roasted hazelnuts and cinnamon, the bottom cookie is covered with raspberry jam, then topped with a second cookie featuring a hole in the centre cut with a cookie cutter. A sprinkling of icing sugar brings the finishing touch. Made on the day you serve them, they’ll have a shortbread texture; the next day, they’ll be chewier. In either case, they’ll taste of Christmas with every bite.

Note from Ricardo

The dough is easier to work with when it is chilled, so freeze the new cookies before removing and using the dough scraps.
