    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, ground walnuts, powdered sugar, baking powder, and vanilla sugar.

    2

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

    3

    Grate in the lemon zest, add the lemon juice and egg, and mix until a dough forms.

    4

    Wrap the dough 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

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3-4 mm). Use cookie cutters to cut out round shapes. Cut a smaller circle out of the center of half of the cookies.

    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 lemon curd on the flat side of the solid cookies, and top with a cutout cookie to create a sandwich.
