Delicate shortbread sandwich cookies filled with raspberry jam and dusted in powdered sugar, presented in a reusable tin for gifting or entertaining.

These Linzer cookies from Stern's Bakery combine a tender, buttery shortbread with a bright raspberry center to recreate a classic European pastry in cookie form. Each 18-count tin arrives ready for gifting, with a light dusting of powdered sugar and a see-through window that shows the cookies' signature cutout. They’re baked in a nut-free facility and carry Kosher certification, making them suitable for many households and celebratory occasions.

What makes Stern's Linzer Cookies different from ordinary sandwich cookies?

Stern's Linzer Cookies are modeled on the traditional Linzer tart concept: a delicate shortbread base, a smear of raspberry jam, and a top cookie stamped to reveal the filling. The recipe focuses on a tender crumb rather than a dense cookie, giving a melt-in-your-mouth texture paired with bright fruitiness.

• Shortbread-style dough for a light, crisp bite
• Sweet-tart raspberry jam center for balanced flavor
• Powdered sugar finish for a classic, festive appearance
• Premium metal tin that preserves freshness and presentation

How should I serve or store the 18-count tin to keep cookies fresh?

Store the tin in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain texture and jam quality. Once opened, reseal the tin or transfer cookies to an airtight container; they stay best eaten within a week for peak freshness.

• Keep in pantry or cupboard at room temperature
• Use airtight storage after opening to preserve crispness
• Ideal consumed within seven days of opening for best flavor
• Reusable tin doubles as storage or a gift box

How can I use these cookies in dessert platters or party settings?
