Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose unbleached organic flour 480 grams
  • 2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter 280 grams
  • 2/3 cup sugar 140 grams
  • 2 lemons; zested
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 cup lingonberry jam see notes

Instructions
 

  • Mix flour with the butter first in the stand mixer until crumbled. Then slowly add all the other ingredients.
  • Divide the dough in half and make two round balls. Wrap it in the plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • On a lightly floured surface roll out the first ball of dough. Cut out the cookies with a small round cookie cutter. Cut out the other half of the dough with the same cookie cutter first and than with a smaller one make a smaller cut out in the middle of the cookie. I used this linzer set to cut my cookies.
  • Place parchment paper on baking sheet. Place cookie tops and bottoms onto the sheet.
  • Bake for 9 minutes till very lightly golden on edges. If your cookies are burning your oven runs to hot you will need to decrease the temperature or time.
  • Remove from oven and place on cooling rack. Once the cookies have cooled add a small lump of lingonberry jam to the bottoms and press the top cookie with cutout lightly onto the bottom cookie.
  • Shift powdered sugar over the tops of the cookies. Store in airtight container.

Notes

You may use other jams like strawberry or apricot as well.
