Prepare two cookies sheets with parchment paper.They can also be frozen, but I recommend you don’t add the filling or dust with powdered sugar until after thawing them out. Linzer cookies can be kept on the counter in an airtight container for about three days, or up to a week in the refrigerator. I went a little overboard dusting mine, but I used Swerve sugar -free confectioners sugar, so no need to feel guilty. The filling: I used store-bought sugar-free raspberry preserves, but homemade sugar-free chia jam is good too. Spread a small amount of jam to the bottom halves and sandwich with the top halves with the cut out so the jam pokes through. I used a 3-inch cookie fluted cutter and 1-inch shaped cutters to cut out the center of the cookies.Īssembly: Dust the cookies with the cut out with powdered sweetener. I also recommend placing the cookies in back in the refrigerator for 15 minutes while the oven is preheating, which will help them keep their shape while cooking. It’s important to chill the dough in fridge for at least one hour as it will make it easier to work with, although it might seem a little stiff to roll out at first. Before assembling the cookies, you sprinkle some confectioners’ sugar on the tops. The cookies can be filled with a variety of fillings, but raspberry jam is the most popular. To make Linzer cookies, the dough is cut into cookie-sized discs, with a cutout in the top that reveals the preserves inside. The classic torte has a buttery shortbread crust, flavored with almonds, lemon zest and cinnamon and filled with blackcurrant preserves. Linzer cookies are similar to the Linzer torte, a traditional Christmas tarte thought to originate in the city of Linz in Austria.

So I thought I’d try making a version that’s sugar free and gluten free, since I eat low carb and am gluten intolerant. I love how Linzer cookies look, with the cut out revealing red jam inside, and the tops dusted with powdered sugar. I also like them to be easy to make, because rolling out dough and decorative icing aren’t really my specialty.
When it comes to Christmas cookies, I like the traditional ones like gingerbread and sugar cookies. Buttery shortbread cookies filled with sugar-free raspberry jam. These easy, festive Linzer cookies are a low-carb version of the traditional holiday cookies.
