THIS IS ONE GREAT RECIPE! I repeat, ONE GREAT RECIPE! The recipe for this week was chosen by noskos at Living the Life. A fabulous choice. The recipe can be found HERE or on page 134-135 in Dorie's cookbook.These little cookies are not only delicious, but they are so stinking cute. I made stars out of mine and sandwiched them together with raspberry jam. The cookies were simple to put together and I thought that the dough was very easy to work with. The nice thing about these cookies is that you could make them year round with basically any type of cookie cutter to match the season.
The taste is good too. When first reading the recipe I had my doubts, mainly about the nuts and cloves. Again, I am not a nut fan and this recipe calls for a good sized portion of them. I think that since the nuts are finely ground (I used almonds) you can taste them but don't have to crunch through or see them. I was also surprised that the clove taste is delicious. A little spice...Huh, who knew?!
I am planning on making another batch of these later this week to take to a cookie exchange this weekend. The recipe yielded 25 cookies, however, I only got 22 sandwich cookies out of my batch. I rolled my dough a little less than 1/4" thick. The Hubster enjoyed them too!

Ohh those are the cutest cookies. I made my dough last night but did not get a chance to roll them out. Hopefully I will do it. Seeing how cute yours are makes me excited to do them!
Yours look so professional! Apparently I needed to take more time with mine - all I did was dust them with sugar. But they were GREAT, I say GREAT. Good job!
Love the stars!! They are so cute!
Yup! just like you say... they're stinking cute! Totaly agree!
Wow, I am the first to comment. First, your site looks awesome. Secondly, your cookies look really wonderful. I also like the enthusiasm you had. I think I am gonna make these again, too. They are super cute.
I agree - the tastiness of these is only helped by the extreme cuteness. Lovely looking little linzers (dear lord, that's a lot of l's...)
star! great minds think alike. But this time i'm going to do the inner star cutouts like you did! and these would make such lovely christmas gifts!!!
Love the stars!! And the festive plate! And the festive blog trappings!! Now I'm in the spirit.

your cookies look perfect!! i love the big star cutout so you can see a lot of the filling. gorgeous :)
those look perfect! I love the star cut out in the middle, too- that's adorable! I'm glad you liked the cloves. They are one of my favorite spices but it's always a risk dumping something random into your cookies! :)
The stars are so cute! After seeing all the cute shapes today I wanna make this cookie again. HAHA. Glad you enjoyed the recipe!

Your cookies did turn out really cute. I agree, these are definitely cookies I am going to make again. And, I love your Christmas plate!
love how your cutouts are on the larger size. makes for a very pretty cookie, with all that red raspberry jam showing. mmmm!
Wow, your stars are so perfect and beautiful!
I'm glad you enjoyed the touch of spice.
Totally agree with you that this is a great recipe! I love the cookies so much that I finished them all in a day! :-P
Your star shaped cookies look really cute. I can see that the outline of the hollow stars are quite thin, was it difficult to tranfer them to the baking tray?
Piggy, I was thinking that because some of the hollowed stars were so thin that it would be difficult to transfer them as well. However, that was not the case and none of them broke. These cookies were very easy to work with. That is why I liked them so much!
Those look delicious! I'm really looking forward to making them
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog! You did a great job on the Linzer Sables from TWD. I just added your blog to my reader to catch up! I'm terribly behind!! Also, thanks for the review on the cookbook, I'm looking forward to trying more out of it.
