My MIL and her aunt make these and I was wondering if anyone had the recipe. They are called vanilla apricot cookies (I think). Anyway, you use a linzer cutter and there are two (sort of sugar cookie like) pieces that get sandwiched together with apricot jam in the middle. Then sprinkled with powdered sug. Can anyone help? Thanks a bunch!!

Linzer (torte) cookies are Austrian in origin. They can be filled with any flavor of preserves.

Here are some recipes:

I found this one a while ago. My family loves them.

1 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups butter
2 1/4 cups blanched almonds, ground
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 1/4 cups sifted A/P flour
apricot jam
powdered sugar

Beat sugar and butter together until light and fluffy. Beat in almonds and vanilla. Add flour. Knead until smooth. Roll out dough on a lightly floured cutting board till the dough is about 1/8 or 1/4 inch thick. Butter and flour your cookie sheet . Bake @ 325 for about 15 minutes, or until golden. Take cookies off the baking sheet. Spread half the cookies with apricot jam. Top with the remaining cookies, dip the edges into powdered sugar.
