Recipe for Linzer Eye Biscuits ➢ How to make them? (2024)

How to make them:

Step 1:

Cut the cold butter into small pieces and quickly crumble with the flour. Add sugar, egg, vanilla sugar, and grated lemon peel and mix into a smooth dough. Allow to cool or at least rest for half an hour.

Step 2:

Then roll out the dough about 3 mm thick and cut out the slices with a serrated cutter. Cut holes into half of the slices (use a special cutter or small biscuit cutter). Place the slices on the baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C / 392°F for about 10 minutes until golden brown.

Step 3:

After baking, coat the bottoms with jam, place the tops, and sprinkle with icing sugar.

Tip: Like all biscuits made from short pastry, Linzer Eyes require a storage time of approximately 14 days until they are tender. It is recommended to store them in sealed metal boxes.
