Cranberry Cornmeal Linzer Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • In a large bowl, blend butter and sugar until creamy.
  • Add egg and beat well.
  • In another bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt; gradually add to butter mixture.
  • Add vanilla and blend thoroughly.
  • Form dough into ball, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Roll out dough on well-floured board to 1/8 inch thickness.
  • Cut with a linzer cookie cutter and place 1 inch apart on lightly greased cookie sheet, making sure to cut an equal amount of bottoms and tops.
  • If you do not have a linzer cookie cutter, use a round cutter, and use a small cookie cutter to cut out a design on the tops of half of the cookies. A donut cutter also works for this.
  • Bake in 350 degree F (175 degrees C) oven for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden.
  • Cool on wire racks.
  • For filling, combine cranberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan.
  • Cook for 10 minutes or until cranberries are soft.
  • Stir in butter and lemon juice; remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • To assemble cookies, match cookie tops with a cookie bottom that is the same size.
  • Spread a small amount of filling on the back side of the bottom cookie; place the bottom side of the top cookie on the filling.
  • Repeat process with remaining cookies and filling.
