Season's Eatings - Linzer Cookie

While this item can be enjoyed all throughout the year, it’s commonly created for the holiday season. It’s considered a sandwich cookie with a lovely jam centre. It derives from a dish considered the oldest recipe for a pie written down. Like many recipes, the flavours change from region to region, but the original can be traced back to one place. It’s a cookie made from ground nuts, spices, and jam. We’re exploring the history and origins of the linzer cookie.
