This is a fabulous recipe using the LINDZER TART COOKIE CUTTER and any one of our citrus curds.

INGREDIENTS

1.25 cups of softened, unsalted butter.
2/3 cup of granulated sugar.
2 cups of sifted, all-purpose flour.
1.75 cups of ground almonds.
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Curdelicious Lemon Curd.
Confectioners sugar for decorating.

Cream the butter and the sugar together until it is light and fluffy. Beat in the flour (1/2 cup at a time), almonds and cinnamon. Continue beating until the dought becomes slightly stiff. Shape into a ball, wrap in plastic film, and refrigerate for one hour.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C)

Cut the dough in half and on a lightly floured surface, roll 1/2" to 1/8" thick. Using your Lindzer Tart Cookie Cutter cut as many circles from the dough as you can. Knead the leftover dough and roll out again to 1/8" and cut out more circles. You should have at least 12 pieces. Arrange the circles on an ungreased baking sheet leaving about 1" between each.

Using the other half of the dough roll out dough to 1/8". Insert a decorative center cutter in your Lindzer Tart Cookie cutter. Cut the rounds, remove the center and put on an ungreased cookie sheet as above.

Bake for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned and cool for 20 minutes.

Now spread the solid cookies with Curdelicious Lemon, Orange or Raspberry Curd, cover with one of the cutout cookies and press together to make a sandwich. Spoon an additional dab of curd in the opening, and sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
