What are Linzer cookies?

Linzer cookies, which originated in Austria, are classically sandwich cookies made with pastry dough and filled with jam. In Morocco my grandmother called them “heuvos fritos” or “fried eggs” because when they were filled with apricot jam they look like fried eggs!

I was playing around with my kids and this dough and they asked to put nutella on them, that’s when I had the idea to make this nutella Linzer cookie recipe.

  • Rolling out pastry dough with chocolate sprinkles
  • Linzer Cookie dough with cut out hearts and stars

What ingredients do you need for this Nutella Linzer Cookie recipe?

For the pastry dough:

  • Vegetable oil, I use canola
  • Sugar
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla
  • Flour, I use all purpose
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Chocolate sprinkles

For the filling: 

  • Nutella or your preferred chocolate spread

How do you make Nutella sandwich cookies?

This linzer cookie recipe is very easy to make! Just follow these simple steps:

  1. First, you’ll prepare the dough by whisking the wet ingredients together. 
  2. Then you add in the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. 
  3. If the dough is too sticky to roll, refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  4. Roll out the dough in between two pieces of parchment paper.
  5. Now the fun part! Using a cookie cutter cut out your favorite shapes. In half the cookies cut out the center using a small cookie cutter. 
  6. Bake the cookies and let them cool completely. 
  7. Then you’ll assemble the sandwich cookies: spread nutella on the flat side of the full cookies and top with the cookies with the “window”.
  8. Now, the real fun part 😉 eat them up!!

Can you make these cookies in advance?

Yes! You can bake the cookies up to three months in advance. Freeze the cookies without the filling in an airtight bag or container. Defrost cookies before assembling, for best results.

Do Linzer cookies need to be refrigerated?

No, these cookies don’t need to be refrigerated. Once assembled, they are best stored in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup canola oil

  • Add in 2 cups of flour, ½ Tblsp of baking powder and ¼ tsp of salt. Mix with a wooden spoon until dough forms. If the dough is sticky add up to ¼ cup of flour.
  • Pour in chocolate sprinkles and knead until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • If it’s still a bit sticky, cover and place in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes. It’s ok to skip this step if the dough is rollable.

  • In half the cookies cut out a small shape in the center.
  • Bake cookies on a parchment lined cookie sheet for 8-10 minutes until edges start to brown.
  • Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
  • When cookies are cool, spread nutella on the flat side of each complete cookie and top with a cookie with the center cut out, flat side down.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days.
If you want to make these in advance bake the cookies and freeze without filling for up to 3 months. Defrost and assemble before serving.

✨Superfoods for 🐶✨ Pt 2 Here’s part 2 of ✨Superfoods for 🐶✨ Pt 2

Here’s part 2 of the behind the scenes from the @millsforpets shoot!

This was challenging for me because, as a vegetarian, fish and meat kind of gross me out.. I used a paper towel to move the proteins around and it was a great solution!

✨✨✨
Stop motion is the perfect video technique to highlight the unique quality of this dog food - that it’s made from fresh produce 🥬! 

By having the fresh ingredients pop out of the dog food bags we can visually showcase why this dog food is so great for your dog and why you should buy it! 

See my feed for part 1 if you missed it and stay tuned for part 3 🙌🏻

We clean up nice 😊 

Fun stop Motion Magic to get ready for the wedding last night!

Ok let’s be honest. 
Comfort is my number 1. 
Always was and always will be. 
I’m super sensitive when it comes to touch/ feel etc so sweatshirts, cotton tshirts, leggings, sweatpants, cotton black skirts… that’s all I ever want to be wearing.. and thankfully that’s what I do!

Did I have an amazing time last night?! Yes!!!
Would it have been even better in sweats and no makeup? Duh!!!

But I will say, if I have to be wearing a full face of makeup- I’d want @eliannamakeuup to be doing it! She was super quick, and she was able to do something that complimented me but also not look like too much- and it stayed on ALL day and ALL night!!! Super impressive!

Those fake eyelashes on the other hand… 🫣

(Also, super random… I ended up with different shoes 😂 but this was option 2…)

Ok, we’re ready for the next wedding now @drayster817 💃🏻

✨Behind the Scenes✨ Here’s how I made the c ✨Behind the Scenes✨

Here’s how I made the characters change colors in the @beitissie stop motion…

1️⃣ First I asked the amazing @viculsh to illustrate and design these characters for the project! ❤️❤️❤️
2️⃣ Then I cut out with the @cricut_il and put together 5 of each character in black and white and in color. 
3️⃣ Then I imagined how I want them changing color and I cut the color characters in 4 stages, a little bit more each time. 
4️⃣ Then I glued each of the color parts that I cut onto the black and white characters, so that each one had a bit more color than the last!
5️⃣ I lined up all the characters to make sure it made sense in sequence.
6️⃣ And then I animated them, but replacing each one until I got the the fully colorful version!

✨Tony’s✨ Some behind the scenes from a quic ✨Tony’s✨

Some behind the scenes from a quick personal shoot.

The last few weeks have been super intense for me.
I got sick 😷 (which is tfu tfu tfu pretty rare for me) and 4 weeks later I got worse before getting better. Thankfully antibiotics are taking care of me now 😅..

But all the while I was trying to work (on some insanely exciting projects I CANNOT wait to share!) and rest, but mainly work. So I def didn’t have time for creating content for fun, or posting or keeping up to date etc..

So today when my husband called and asked if I wanted him to bring me something, I said “chocolate”. Now, I’m a salty first girl. I’ll (almost, apparently) *always* want fries before sweets, but that’s the first thing that came to mind.

When he came home with this @tonyschocolonely bar, I thought, can’t eat this! Have to shoot it first 📸😂

And so… here we are! We made it to the end of January, we all deserve a gold medal 🥇 (or some emotional chocolate 🍫). Who wants a piece?

✨Boker✨ It seems fitting that my first paper ✨Boker✨

It seems fitting that my first paper art stop motion would be my morning coffee ☕️ 

Had such a hard time figuring out this new @cricut_il machine! I thought it would be more user friendly and intuitive- but alas! There’s a big learning curve, which I’m sure I’ll eventually figure out (5 million YouTube videos later).

Thankfully @tam_man177 doesn’t scare easily and was willing to sit and play with me for hours to pull this off! But now we have something to show for it 😍

Also super fun to feature @shanakoppel’s Hebrew “boker” gif that I love and use every morning in my stories!
