These Traditional Linzer Cookies were lovely. My mom makes wonderful strawberry jam in the summer, and this was a great way to show it off.
The only difficulty I had was in rolling out my dough, not through any fault of the recipe, but because I tried to make these in the middle of a string of 90+ degree days. Our air conditioner struggled, our house was uncomfortably warm, and my dough went from fridge cooled to room temperature very quickly. If I had thought ahead I would have put my rolling pin in the freezer to help keep the dough chilled. I froze half of my dough for another, more temperate, day.
Despite some stickiness, I did managed to put together some tasty cookies. With the powdered sugar on top this recipe really does make a very picturesque treat. Pretty tasty too.
