    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.

    3

    Add the cold butter, and using your fingertips or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

    4

    Grate in the orange and lemon zest, then add the lemon juice and egg. Knead the dough until it comes together into a smooth ball.

    5

    Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch (5 mm) thickness, and cut out round shapes using a cookie cutter. Cut out the center of half of the cookies to create a hole.

    6

    Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

    7

    Let the cookies cool completely. Spread the whole cookies with orange marmalade, and then top with the cookies that have a hole in the center.

    8

    Dust the finished Linzer cookies with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
