Spiced Hazelnut Linzer Cookies

These spiced hazelnut Linzer cookies are a delectable twist on the classic Austrian treat that is perfect for the holiday season. The buttery shortbread-style dough is punctuated with rich and nutty hazelnuts and infused with the warmth of cardamom, cinnamon, and a touch of cloves. The dough is cut into rounds and baked to golden perfection before being sandwiched together with a thin layer of jam. A dusting of powdered sugar lends a delicate sweetness and a festive look.

Ingredients:
  • ½ cup whole raw hazelnuts
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling out the cookies
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cardamom
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • About ¾ cup jam or marmalade
