\nApricot Linzer Cookies<\/span><\/p>\n

Prep: 45 minutes plus chilling & cooling
\nBake: 10 minutes per batch \u2022 Serves: 24<\/span> <\/p>\n

1-1\/2 <\/span>cups chopped hazelnuts
\n1\/2<\/span>cup packed brown sugar
\n2-1\/2<\/span>cups all-purpose flour
\n1\t<\/span>teaspoon baking powder
\n1\t<\/span>teaspoon ground cinnamon
\n1\/2<\/span>teaspoon salt
\n1\t<\/span>cup Land O\u2019 Lakes unsalted butter<\/strong> (2 sticks), softened
\n1\t<\/span>large egg
\n1 <\/span>teaspoon lemon zest
\n1\/2<\/span>teaspoon pure vanilla extract
\n\t<\/span>Nonstick cooking spray
\n1\/2<\/span>cup apricot preserves
\n\t<\/span>Powdered sugar for dusting<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1.<\/span>In large skillet, toast hazelnuts over medium heat 7 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant, stirring occasionally; transfer to plate to cool. In bowl of food processor with knife blade attached, process 1\/4\u00a0cup brown sugar and hazelnuts until very finely ground.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/span>In medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In separate medium bowl, with mixer on medium speed, beat butter and remaining 1\/4 cup brown sugar 3 minutes or until fluffy, scraping bowl occasionally with rubber spatula. Add hazelnut mixture and beat until well combined; scrape bowl. Add egg, zest and vanilla; beat 1 minute. Scrape bowl and reduce speed to low; add flour mixture and beat just until incorporated.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3.<\/span>With floured hands, form dough into 2 equal balls; flatten each into 5-inch disk. Wrap disks with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4.<\/span>Preheat oven to 350\u00b0; line baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray. Place 1 dough disk between 2 sheets waxed paper; with rolling pin, roll dough disk into 11-inch round (dough should be about 1\/8-inch thick). Remove top piece of waxed paper; with 2-1\/2-inch round cutter, cut out cookies. With offset spatula, transfer cookies to prepared baking sheet in single layer about 1 inch apart. With 1-inch cutter, cut out center from half the cookies; reserve center cutouts. Gather dough scraps with center cutouts; roll out dough scraps and repeat.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5.<\/span>Bake cookies 10 minutes or until edges are golden brown. With spatula, transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with second dough disk to make additional cookies.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6.<\/span>With fine-mesh strainer, dust cookies with center cutouts with powdered sugar. With knife, spread about 1 teaspoon preserves on bottom side of each solid cookie; place cookies with center cutouts, bottom side down, over preserves to make cookie sandwiches. Store cookies in airtight container with parchment or waxed paper between layers up to 5 days.
