Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
2
Add the cold butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Grate the apple and add it to the mixture, then stir in the egg and vanilla sugar.
4
Knead the dough until it comes together, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to rest.
5
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6
Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3-4 mm) and cut out round shapes using a cookie cutter. Cut out a smaller circle in the center of every other cookie.
7
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
8
Let the linzer cookies cool completely. Spread chocolate spread on the flat side of the whole cookies, then top with the cookies with the cut-out centers. Sprinkle with grated dark chocolate before serving.
