Matcha Linzer Cookies

47 Comments

Who in their right mind doesn’t love a holiday cookie?

This year, I whipped up a batch of King Arthur’s Classic Linzer Cookies which were quickly devoured. I then had the idea of combining the cookies with one of my favorite summer beverages, the matcha + raspberry drink from Frothy Monkey, because did summer 2020 even exist? Was it before or after the Tiger King era of the pandemic? Honestly, I couldn’t tell you.

I didn’t have raspberry jam but sour cherry jam made a fantastic substitute. Use whatever jam you’d like, but I always recommend going with something tart for that flavor ~*contrast*~.

Anyways, here’s the adapted recipe!

Matcha Linzer Cookies

A twist on a holiday classic. Use a tart jam like raspberry or cherry for contrast with the matcha's warm earthiness. This is a simple adaptation of the King Arthur Linzer Cookie Recipe.

Servings 15 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar 99g
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp matcha powder
  • 12 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened 170g
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 160g
  • 3/4 cup almond flour 72g
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • cherry or raspberry jam, for filling
  • confectioners' sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Whisk the sugar and matcha powder until combined. Beat the butter, sugar, and zest (or cinnamon) until light and fluffy, scraping the bowl as needed, about 3 minutes. Add the yolk and vanilla and beat until combined.

  2. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, almond flour, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and mix until just combined. Don't over-beat.

  3. Divide the dough in half, and pat each half into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.

  4.  Remove the dough from the refrigerator, and let it soften for 5 to 10 minutes, until it feels soft enough to roll. It should still feel cold, but shouldn't feel rock-hard. On a floured surface, roll one disc of dough out about 1/8"-thick. Using a 2 1/2" round cookie cutter, cut out cookies. Transfer rounds to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gather the scrap dough, roll, and repeat. If at any time during this process the dough becomes sticky and hard to work with, simply refrigerate it for about 20 minutes, until firm.

  5. Place the cut cookies (you should have 15 cookies) in the freezer for 10 minutes and preheat the oven to 350°F.

  6. While the first half of cookies is chilling, cut 15 rounds from the remaining dough. Once you've transferred these cookies to a baking sheet, use your smallest cookie cutter or the end of a round piping tip to make a peekaboo cutout in the center of each. Place cookies in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill.

  7. Bake all of the cookies for 12. Let them cool for 5 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

  8.  Place the cookies with the holes in them on a cookie sheet and sift confectioners' sugar over the top. Turn the remaining cookies flat side up and spoon 1 teaspoon of jam into the center, spreading it slightly. Top with the sugar-dusted cookies.
