Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
2
Add the cold butter, and cut it into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Stir in the vanilla sugar, egg, and grated apple. Knead gently until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3-4 mm). Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles. Cut a smaller hole in the center of every other circle.
6
Place the cookie rounds on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
7
Let the linzer cookies cool completely on the baking sheet. Spread the plain cookies with apple cinnamon jam or preserves, and top with the cookies that have the holes.
8
Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Garnish with cinnamon sticks or apple slices, if desired.
