Once you make these decadent sandwich cookies quickly hide them away. I recommend rounds, squares, stars or hearts, and you’ll just need to have a smaller cookie cutter to cut the mini shape from their centers. You can use various shapes of cookie cutters here. These are such a fun cookie to make and they are great for parties and gifting (just be mindful and careful to not give to those with nut allergies).

They’re easily one of the ultimate holiday cookies! Beautiful Austrian Linzer Cookies!
