Sourdough Hazelnut Linzer Cookies

December 5, 2021 by Sophie Leave a Comment

Welcome to December friends!

These linzer cookies are some of my favorite holiday classics!

They’re the perfect tender little cookie that features ground toasted hazelnuts, just a hint of warm spices and citrus zest to remind us of the season.

Of course, they have sourdough starter in the cookie as well to stay on brand for me. I can’t help but put sourdough in everything.

Paired with a little homemade jam, these are so tasty. Linzers typically have raspberry jam, but feel free to use whatever you’d like.

Yield: 18 Cookies

Classic linzer cookies made with hazelnuts and sourdough discard.

You'll Need...

  • 400 grams all-purpose flour
  • 100 grams brown sugar
  • 1 gram salt
  • 3 grams cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground cardamom
  • 150 grams hazelnuts, toasted (or other nut of choice)
  • 225 grams unsalted butter, room temp
  • 100 grams sourdough starter
  • 1 orange, zested
  • Jam of choice
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

  1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the dry ingredients and toasted hazelnuts. Process until sandy. Next add the butter, sourdough starter and citrus zest. Pulse until a dough forms. Pat the dough into a rectangle, cut in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Allow to chill in the fridge for at least an hour, but longer makes it easier to roll out. The dough will last in the fridge for up to 3 or 4 days.
  2. Roll the chilled dough out between two pieces of parchment to about 1/8 inch thick. Chill the dough again before cutting using a cookie or biscuit cutter. Cut the middle out of half of your cookies to create a window (you can use the back end of a piping tip). Transfer to parchment lined baking sheets and chill again.
  3. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and bake for 12-16 minutes until lightly golden. Allow to cool entirely before filling with jam, dusting the lids with powdered sugar and sandwiching them.

Additional Notes

This dough can be a little tricky to work with as it gets sticky at room temperature. I like to let it sit out of the fridge for 20 minutes or so before rolling so it's easier...Then chilling the dough after it has been rolled out makes it a lot quicker to cut out the cookies.
If you want to make these ahead of time, I would wait to sandwich the cookies with jam until you want to serve them. They soften as they sit with the jam filling.

It might be a bit decadent, but I could see these cookies going really well with a chocolate hazelnut filling.

With the jam, they’re surprisingly light and easy to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee.

FLOUR + FLOWERS! 🀍 Chocolate orange rye sourdou FLOUR + FLOWERS! 🀍 Chocolate orange rye sourdough all painted up. 🌼🍫🍊 I used some fresh milled rye flour in this loaf, along with extra dark cocoa powder, fresh orange zest, honey and chocolate chunks. 🀀

I’m not the best at painting, but I’ve been wanting to try something like this since I saw @sleepingmakesmehungry beautiful floral loaves a while back, and @lovealldesignco more recently. 🎨🌸🀍

I used food dye gel mixed with a little water as the paint, scored with my @wiremonkeyshop Poco lame & baked in my @challengerbreadware pan as always. 🌾🍫🍞

I ❀️ blood orange season! 🍊 I wanted to sha I ❀️ blood orange season! 🍊 I wanted to share this small batch marmalade recipe I make each year. The perfect accompaniment to toast with salted butter. Toast is truly one of my favorite foods, and I love making jams & preserves to enjoy with fresh bread. 🍊🧈🍞 Also, this beautiful wood serving board is by my very talented brother @jeffremer! 🀍

Small Batch Blood Orange Marmalade: (Makes 1 pint)

300g blood oranges (2-3 oranges)
1/2 lemon
300g water
250g granulated sugar

Peel the oranges and 1/2 lemon, and slice the rind into thin strips and pieces. Remove the seeds from the fruit, slice into smaller chunks and set aside.

Combine the peels and water in a stainless steel pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Simmer for 20-30 minutes until the peels are tender. You may need to add more water as necessary.

Add the sugar and the fruit to the pot and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally. Boil for 6-8 minutes until the syrup thickens. 

Transfer to a pint jar and allow to cool uncovered before covering and storing in the fridge.

Fresh start for the new year, felt only right to d Fresh start for the new year, felt only right to do a single slash loaf. I’m always tempted to score a more complex design, but I tend to keep it simple with slashing inclusion loaves. 🌾🍞

This was a delicious cranberry & roasted chestnut bread I made with some beautiful flours from @bartonspringsmill in atx. 🀍🌾 Used their purple straw wheat & rouge de Bordeaux. Slathered a slice in some softened butter with flaky sea salt for a go-to snack. Also had to flag the two quick πŸˆπŸˆβ€β¬› cameos!
