Linz Pastry

This is one of the first things I ever made in the kitchen, and let me tell you, they're still my favourite till this day. This is originally from Czechoslovakia and it's called Linecké Cukroví. It's simple and will leave you wanting more =]

Linz Pastry:
210g of all-purpose flour
140g of butter
70g of powdered sugar
2 egg yolks

Stir together flour and sugar. Then put in a mixing bowl with butter and egg yolks. Mix at a high speed until it forms a dough. Cool for an hour.

Preheat oven to 350F (176C)

Roll out dough on a floured surface. Make it about 1/4 of an inch thick. Cut out cookies into desired shapes. Make sure you have them in pairs. Put in a greased baking pan. Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

Filling:
150g of butter
1 egg yolk
200g powdered sugar
50g of grated chocolate
1 tsp of rum
2 tbsp of melted chocolate for garnish

Cream together butter, sugar, egg yolk, grated chocolate, and rum.

After cookies have baked, put together in pairs keeping them together (pasting) with chocolate filling. Decorate with melted chocolate.

Enjoy.
