The original Linzer cookie is believed to have been made from the scraps of a Linzertorte; the layered cookie sandwiches now come in various shapes and sizes for the holiday season. Like the torte, the Linzer cookie is made up of flour, nuts, butter, lemon zest, and fruit preserves. Many believed its first-known documentation could be found a 1696 cookbook. In 2005, however, it was discovered in a Veronese manuscript dated 1653!
The inventor of the original cookie recipe remains unclear — but a traveling painter from Austria, Franz Holzlhuber, is widely credited with introducing the torte itself to Milwaukee in the 1850s, prompting its subsequent spread across America.
