Traditionally sweet Linzers go savory in these stackers. Buttery dough sprinkled with oniony, garlicky everything bagel seasoning is layered with whipped cream cheese for an intensely flavorful bite.
Everything Bagel Linzers
Makes about 18 sandwich cookies
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups (281 grams) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon (2 grams) kosher salt
- ¾ cup (170 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¼ cup (60 grams) ice water
- 1 large egg (50 grams)
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) water
- Everything bagel seasoning
- 6 ounces (170 grams) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup (60 grams) heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- In the work bowl of a food processor, pulse flour and salt until combined. Add cold butter; pulse until butter is worked in and mixture has a slightly mealy texture. With processor running, add ¼ cup (60 grams) ice water in a slow, steady stream just until dough comes together.
- Turn out dough, and shape into a disk. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
- Line rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to ⅜-inch thickness. Using a 2¼-inch round cutter, cut dough, rerolling scraps once. Using a 1½-inch round cutter, cut centers from half of rounds. Using a fork, dock whole rounds. Place 1½ inches apart on prepared pan. Refrigerate until cold, about 20 minutes.
- Preheat to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon (15 grams) water; brush onto dough. Sprinkle with everything seasoning.
- Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool on pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a medium bowl, whisk cream cheese until smooth. Add cream, and whisk until smooth. Spoon cream cheese mixture into a pastry bag, and cut a ½-inch opening in tip. Pipe onto flat side of whole rounds. Top with rounds with cutouts, flat side down. Best served same day as assembled. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
