Linzer cookies consist of 2 shortcrust pastry cookies glued together with either apricot or red currant jam – these varieties are the most authentic ones. With our move back to Austria it seemed like the perfect opportunity. Therefore, it was only a matter of time for them to appear here on the blog. In bakeries and supermarkets, they are very popular year round. Almost everybody I know made them for Christmas time. Naturally, these cookies have always been around. I grew up in Austria with Linz as the closest city. The cookie tester also enthusiastically agreed. However, since everything has changed over the last few weeks, I thought: Hey, why not make holiday cookies right away? And honestly: Best idea ever.

And it seemed like a good fit since the last thing that I’ve made in our old apartment in Cambridge was granola too because it’s the quickest way to get rid of all the seeds, grains, coconut, nuts, and oats at once.

We didn’t ship any of our stuff, so we had to squeeze all our really important belongings that we wanted to hold on into 3 suitcases. However, moving to a different continent means a hell of a lot more work. If you’ve ever moved within the same city or country, you know what moving means. ![]() After having spent the past 3.5 years in Cambridge, we now live in our new/old city again. Yes, we recently moved from Boston to Vienna. BUT, and there always is a but, I had a good reason for this: We moved back to Europe. In fact, there has never been a break that long. I am back!!! I didn’t post anything on the blog for quite a while. ![]()
