Pistachio Pudding Linzer Cookies blend nutty flavor and soft texture for a treat that satisfies your sweet tooth like no other

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pistachios (optional)
  • 1/4 cup raspberry jam (or any fruit preserves you like)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

    • Instructions

  • Prepare your ingredients and bowl. Let the butter come to room temperature so it's super soft. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • Mix butter and sugar. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
  • Add pudding mix and vanilla. Stir in the pistachio pudding mix and vanilla extract until just combined.
  • Combine dry ingredients separately. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until a dough forms. Fold in chopped pistachios if using.
  • Chill the dough. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap them in plastic wrap, and chill for at least one hour.
  • Roll and cut out cookies. On a lightly floured surface, roll one dough disc out to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut circles. For half, use a smaller cutter or shape cut-out in the center to create a window.
  • Bake the cookies. Place cutouts on prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges start to turn golden.
  • Cool completely. Let cookies cool on trays for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.
  • Assemble the cookies. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam on solid cookie bottoms, then gently press cutout cookies on top. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

    • Notes
