    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, and baking powder. Add the lemon zest to infuse the dry ingredients with flavor.

    3

    Cut in the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

    4

    Add the egg yolk, honey, and lemon juice. Quickly bring the dough together until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

    5

    Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 5 mm (approximately 1/4 inch). Use linzer cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.

    6

    Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

    7

    Let the cookies cool completely. Spread lemon glaze on the flat side of half of the cookies and top with the remaining cookies to create sandwiches.

    8

    Allow the linzer cookies to rest for a few hours before serving, to allow the flavors to meld.
