Linzer Cookies
Wee! It's the start of Birthday month! My birthday is on Sunday!
For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie, Noskos of Living the Life chose Linzer Sables on pages 134-135 of Dorie's great book: Baking: From My Home to Yours (which makes a great holiday gift by the way! :)
I rolled out the dough waaaaaay too thick. And the mat wasn't floured enough so everything stuck. It was kinda a nightmare - all my fault. I ended up with just a few that turned out.
But since I did buy new Linzer Sables from Sur la Table, I'm going to try again!!
Filled 'em with raspberry and apricot jam!
Be sure to check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers who probably did a much better job!!

Awesome job. Greatlooking linzer cookies!
Happy early birthday! Your cookies look great!
Your cookies don't look too thick, they look perfect- very beautiful!
How pretty! I think I need to go invest in some mini cutters. =)
I love the dusting of powdered sugar! Adorable cookies!
They are so beautiful! Great job. And happy birthday. So we are both Saggitarians? Good sign, great people, huh? :)
Those are so cute! I'm jealous, your cookies look exactly how I wanted mine to look. I must get my hands on some mini cutters before I deal with the second half of the dough.
Oh, your cookies look so incredible! I used the same scalloped edge cutter but forgot to make any cutouts - yours are so pretty!
Have a Happy Birthday!
I think they look great, those cut-outs are flipping adorable.
Those are truly beautiful cookies
December is my birthday month also... but I have to wait a few more weeks for it yet (it's the 28th)
Your cookies look great! I'm sorry you had a hard time rolling and cutting them though...
Happy Birthday Mary! Hope you have a ton of fun things planned this coming weekend!
I think your cookies look great --- not to thick at all --- great job!
Happy Birthday month! (and birthday) And what are you talking about? Yours look great, I rolled mine out too thin instead of too thick.
No...so pretty!! And I love Sur la Table.
My cookies were too thick, too, but the few that I did get thin broke apart really easily. So maybe thick is the new thin. That's what I tell my personal trainer, at least.
Great job! Happy early birthday!
Lovely cookies! And Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!! Bummer everything stuck.
Simple yet perfect, what more to ask for... that's how the Austrian like them! LOL Gorgeous sablés!
I think they turned out beautifully! I'm so jealous of your cookie cutters! I was just at Sur La Table this past Saturday to get those mini tartlette pans you told me about, and I completely forgot about those cookie cutters! Too bad it's 100 miles away :(
Happy Birthday! Your cookies are flippin' perfect looking. Perfect.
I rolled mine to thick too.
These were delicious.
Mmmm - they look wonderful! I especially love that last picture!!

Happy birthday - and nice job with the linzers. New baking gadgets are always fun to play with, in any case.
Happy (early) Birthday! Hope UCLA can pull it out on Saturday. Wouldn't that be a sweet birthday gift? ;) Your sables are adorable!

Happy Birthday! Something strange, I was just going to click post a comment on your blog and I had a pop up with a message I had an email from you. lol. Your cookies look great!
You could have fooled me that you had trouble with these - they look fantastic!
Happy early birthday! I rolled mine too thin so we need to get together!

Those are beautiful! I love the little heart one in front- it looks perfect! Happy birthday this week, too!
Happy Birthday! Mine is this month too. (Also my younger daughter and my stepson and my best friend.) You'd never know by looking at those cookies that you had any difficulties. They look delicious.
You linzer sables look fabulous and a very Happy Birthday!
You would never know yours didn't turn out. These look beautiful!
Love the linzer cookies and the pumpkin rolls below! Yum! Do you ever bring your goods to the library? If you did, I'd never leave. I'd eat and read all day!
I don't think your linzer cookies are too thick either. Love the cut-out, look very cute. :-)
Happy early birthday!
Your cookies look great.
I need to get some new cookie cutters!
These are lovely! Mine were ridiculously thick, too. Good for the dunking.
Yours are beautiful and great photos. We would have never known you had glitches because your cookies look splendid! Have fun with your new toys. Have a fabulous birthday. Happy Happy.

How pretty! I rolled mine out between two sheets of wax paper and froze for 5 min after cutting out the shapes, they came off the paper very well indeed. I could use some cookies now... mmmm.... Happy birthday!
Beautiful, just beautiful
Great work

absolutely beautiful cookies. and happy early birthday!! :)
Your cookies look great! I love the shapes you used!
I love these!!! You always have great bakes! Yes I do prefer them a little thinner, but they look lovely anyhow!
By the way, Where did you get the cute little heart cutters from? I really love them...but I think I can't find them in Malaysia :( Big sniffles!! Are they expensive? Sigh again!
Nice looking cookies! Your photography is excellent!
