Valentine’s Day Linzer Cookies Recipe

These heart-shaped linzer cookies feature a delicious chocolate chip dough sandwiched with raspberry jam. The recipe yields about 24 cookies and takes approximately 1 hour from start to finish, making it a fun and festive baking project.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup raspberry jam
• Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

1. Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
5. Shape the Cookies: Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies. For half of the cookies, use a smaller heart cutter to create a window in the center.
6. Bake: Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
7. Assemble: Spread raspberry jam on the solid heart cookies and top with the cookies that have the cut-out center. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
