12 Days of Treats Cookies

Sugar Plum Linzer Cookies

Jump to recipe

When I was a kid, I hated jam cookies. I wouldn’t even give them a chance.  Then I discovered Knott’s Berry Farm Raspberry Shortbread cookies back in the day!!!   They were sampling them at the actual park and when I got a whiff of them, I was intrigued.  I ate one and that was it.  Now when I make these babies, I can barely wait for them to get out of the oven before digging in.

I usually make them with strawberry jam but when I saw Trader Joe’s had sugar plum jam, well, color me intrigued.  Don’t fret if you don’t have a TJ’s near you.  You can usually find plain ol’ plum jam or jelly at a larger grocery store or World Market.  Bonne Maman makes a good one.   These traditional cookies are so elegant with sweet and nutty notes that you’d be hard pressed to find someone who wouldn’t be thrilled to get these for a gift!

  1. I make Linzer cookies almost every year but always with raspberry jelly so I’m very intrigued by a sugar plum center. I’m definitely going to search for this jam here in Canada so I can switch it up this year!

    1. Linzers are the best and when I saw that in Trader Joe’s, I had to try it. But Bonne Maman makes a plum jam that is very similar.

  2. These looks so festive, I’ve never had plum jam, but I’d definitely try it. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with us at the Creative Muster Link Party. Looking forward to seeing what you share next week! Pinned

  3. The sugar plum center sounds delicious, and a great alternative to more traditional flavors.
