The Linzer cookie is based from the torte. It’s like a mini version of the torte and looks just as beautiful as the torte itself! Erin (from Platings and Pairings) shares with us her recipe here! P.S, you can totally pass this off as a super fancy jammie dodger for all you Whovians out there!

What do you think? Are you tempted to try and make one of these delicious delicacies? I certainly would love to try my hand at making the Linzer Torte! If I only had the time… Anyhoo, I hope you are inspired and who knows, maybe you’ll shake up your pack of baked goods and desserts this Christmas!
