Instructions
Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Set aside
3¼ cups All-purpose flour, ¼ cup Cornstarch, ½ tsp Salt, ½ tsp Ground cinnamon, ⅛ tsp Ground cloves, ⅛ tsp Ground nutmeg
Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl or a stand mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Beat the eggs individually, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the almond and vanilla extracts.
1 cup Unsalted butter, 1½ cup Packed brown sugar, 2 large Eggs, 1 tsp Almond extract, 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until combined. Do not overmix.
Chill: Divide the dough in half, wrap each half in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F 175°C / Gas Mark 4 when ready to bake. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll and Cut the Cookies: On a lightly floured surface, roll out half the dough to a thickness of about 1/4-inch (6mm). Using the Linzer cookie cutters, cut out an equal number of base and top cookies. Remember that the top cookies will have a small shape cut out of the center to allow the jam to peek through.
Bake: Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Assemble: Once the cookies are cool, spread a thin layer of jam on each base cookie. If using, dust the top cookies with powdered sugar, then place them on top of the jam-covered base cookies, pressing down lightly to adhere.
