Raspberry Linzer Cookies

Grounds almonds give these cookies a hearty taste and extra crunch. We love the look and texture of raspberry preserves with seeds, but use seedless fruit spread if you like. These raspberry Linzer cookies are the easiest sandwich cookies. Rich, buttery shortbread cookie dough filled with raspberry jam. They make the perfect addition to the holiday cookie platter.

They are super duper cute with their heart-shaped of course you can cut them into any shape you’d like. These make perfect cookies to place in a jar and give as a gift to family, friends, and loved ones any time of the year, especially during Valentine’s day!.

Notes

Notes:
If you don't own a pastry bag, a sandwich bag with a corner cut-off works very well to pipe the preserves.
The cookies keep for several days in a covered container at room temperature. 
The yield will vary based on the shape and size of the cookie cutter.
