Linzer cookies have been on many families’ holiday cookies list for years, bringing holiday
cheer around the world. You would probably think that the name of this European holiday cookie is named after the city of Linz, Austria. Actually, it isn’t. The Linzer is an original Hungarian delicacy.

Since it was first available for tasting, it is still one of the most popular holiday cookies, easy to make and truly irresistible.
