Hi Ariel, They’ll keep longer if you don’t fill them with jam. Keep cookies in airtight container at room temperature and then fill with jam before serving. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do once they get soft. These are really best eaten within a couple days of baking.

Hi! I made these and they taste awesome, but they got soggy in the container! Any tips on why and how I can salvage them? Thaks!

Hi Yvette! Sorry about the nut allergy. This truly was not the cookie collection for folks with nut allergies. The Linzers are hard to replicate because the flavor really relies on the combination of nuts. You could easily use a butter cookie dough and flavor it with some cinnamon and allspice and make little sandwiches. Also, the walnut shortbread are great without the walnuts! I would definitely give them a try. Tomorrow’s recipe is also nut-free, so stay tuned.

i’m so bummed… every cookie i’ve liked the look of on your blog contains nuts (which i love, but my partner is highly allergic to.) any ideas on what i could substitute?

I have linzers (“drei augen”) in the oven as I type, and the scent is intoxicating. I love them rolled thin (a hassle, but lovely), and filled with red currant jelly – stunning good. Thanks, Dorie!

I ordered her book, and I already have a linzer cookie cutter that’s just waiting to be used. Thanks for reminding me to put the two together!

Great Q&A!

This is such a delightful questionnaire. I adore the “come back as a fruit or vegetable” question.

WOW, what a blog (Thanks, Dorie, for posting this link on Twitter). And, the pictures are amazing and I have just put a post-it note on that page in Dorie’s book. Holidays, here we come!

These look beautiful! I may have to set my usual recipe for Linzer cookies aside and give this one a whirl. I’m a huge fan of Dorie and it was such a nice surprise to see this post.

Wow, great idea, and so exciting that you got Dorie on board! These look fabulous – but really, doesn’t everything she bakes? I’m such a fan. Of both of you!

GORGEOUS! And I love Dorie!

If you roll up in here with an interview from Ina Garten, I’m moving in with you.

It’s hard to write a comment when you’re blushing as much as I am right now. Thank you so much for this kind, sweet and yes, way over-the-top post.

Your cookies are absolutely perfect and I’m so happy that you liked them. I always love the way you photograph your food, but I was tickled by the way you photographed the cookies on top of my book. Adorable.

Thank you and ‘merci’, too — Dorie

I love her, too! And I think it was your links list that turned me on to her. Now I check her blog daily. Great stories and recipes. Gorgeous cookies Tim! x
