These cookies go by many names - "Linzerkuchen", "Spitzbuben", "Jam Cookies" and "Mandelkuchen" are just some of the ones I'm familiar with for this recipe.
Ingredients
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
1/2 cup ground almonds
2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 to 1 2/3 cups flour
any flavor fruit jam
confectioners' sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
In large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat well.
Add almonds and baking powder. Gradually add flour and mix to dough consistency with hands.
Cover and chill dough for 1 hour.
Roll and cut into desired shapes.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until done. Let cool.
Spread jam on half of the cookies and top with other half. Then dip into powdered sugar. If the top half has a hole in it like ours do, dip it in the powdered sugar before sandwiching the cookies.
