Linzer cookies with a Greek twist - instead of butter, we use olive oil in our Christmas baking.
Our 100% virgin olive oil has a mild flavor and is ideal for baking cookies and cakes. It makes Linzer cookies especially tender and light – perfect for your christmas cookie plate.
Quantity is sufficient for approximately 30 cookies.

MANI tip:
When the cookies come out of the oven, they are still soft. They become firm when they have cooled.
