Hey there! For perfect linzer cookies, make sure you're not overworking the dough, as it can make them crumbly. A good tip is to chill the dough for at least an hour before rolling it out, which helps with handling and texture. Using a mix of butter and a little bit of almond meal can give them a nice balance of tenderness and crunch. Keep an eye on baking time too, as overbaking can make them too dry!

Hey! For that perfect linzer cookie texture, try chilling the dough a bit longer before baking, it helps with the crumbly issue!
