Linzer Cake Bars Recipe

How to make it

---

• Separate the eggs, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry
• Beat egg yolks with sugar, butter, flour, nuts, cinnamon and baking powder on low speed in a large deep bowl
• Mixture will be somewhat crumbly and hard to stir
• Slowly blend in the whites with the mixer until blended
• The dough will be soft and spreadable
• Spread 2/3 of the dough in a oblong pan, by patting dough in with your hands or spatula- My note: Use a pan where 2/3rds of the dough will fill it at least half full
• Evenly spread on the marmalade.
• Use the remaining dough to cover the preserves either by piping on a lattice or dropping on pieces of dough over preserves
• Bake in a preheated 350F oven for about 50 minutes or set and done
• If browning to fast, cover with foil.
• Cool completely on rack and let stand a few hours before cutting
• These may be chilled and cut
• Note: I initially piped on a lattice but the lattice spread and completely covered the jam- there were no instructions to chill the dough
• Despite this, these were so buttery, nutty and delicious.
