Happy Boxing Day! I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas Day.
Being Tuesday, our last Tuesdays with Dorie recipe for 2017 is Cocoa Linzer Cookies. Dorie adds cocoa and chocolate to the traditional Linzer cookie to create a new treat.
I made a few tweaks to the recipe to match the ingredients I had in the house. Almonds were replaced by hazelnuts; raspberry jam was replaced with strawberry jam. I also just plain forgot to dust the finished cookies with "snow" (icing sugar).
While these cookies tasted good, I think I like the traditional Linzer cookie better. I found that the chocolate flavour in these took away some of the sweetness without adding richness.
However, these cookies looked the part, and someone at work told me that they thought I had bought them.
To see what the other Dorie bakers made this week and what they thought of it, visit the LYL section of the TWD website.
These are PERFECT! Happy Boxing Day to you!

ReplyDeleteI did thanks Johanna. Hope you did too.
DeleteThese are very cute but I think I know what you mean with the chocolate flavour being distracting. I love linzers as they are :D
