Falling in love is easy with our winter Limited Batch Linzer Cookie Cashew & Almond Butter. Bursting with the bright flavors of raspberries and lemon blended into a cashew-almond base reminiscent of freshly baked shortbread, this nut butter is our (vegan!) spin on one of our favorite seasonal treats.
Linzer Cookie features a blend of Organic fair labor cashews and heirloom Mission almonds that combine with Organic coconut nectar, Organic maple syrup, vanilla, and Jacobsen sea salt to create a spoonable take on the buttery-sweet sandwich cookies of the namesake treat. Freeze-dried raspberries and lemon oil marry for a zingy, delightful ode to the classic jam filling.
We love it spooned onto vanilla ice cream, spread on pancakes and toast, as an incredible treat straight from the jar, or paired with your favorite chocolate for an unbeatable taste experience. Get it for your sweetie or treat yourself, now through March 31!
HISTORY OF THE LINZER COOKIE
The Linzer cookie is based on the iconic Austrian dessert, the Linzer Torte. The almond-based, jam-topped torte has been popular in Austria for centuries, in addition to being a historic confection—the 1653 recipe from Countess Anna Margarita Samarosa is thought to be the oldest surviving cake recipe. The Linzer Cookie is believed to have been created in 1822 by the husband-and-wife baking duo of Johann Konrad Vogel and Katherine Kress (according to Das Grüne Archiv). After moving to Linz, the couple began making the torte-inspired cookies dubbed “Linzer Eyes,” referencing the traditional geometric cutouts revealing the jammy center. The cookie made its way around Europe and to the United States by way of Austrian immigrants and is now a much-loved treat, often enjoyed between Christmas and Valentine’s Day. UK “biscuit” lovers know this treat as Jammie Dodger, one of our favorite cookie names ever.

OUR MISSION IS TO BUILD A HEALTHIER RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR PLANET THROUGH DELICIOUS, NUTRITIOUS FOODS MADE WITHOUT COMPROMISE.
We believe that food matters. It should be good for the people who eat it, good for the people who grow it, and good for the planet.
Mark and Megan Overbay have long been passionate about making delicious food centered around culinary craft, integrity, and sustainability. The inspiration for doing so through nut butter originated from Mark’s experience as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Zimbabwe, where he missed his favorite food – peanut butter – and decided to make his own. By hand crushing locally grown peanuts and mixing in salt, honey and coconut oil, he made one of the best things he’d ever tasted. Back in Durham, North Carolina, he and his wife, Megan, who had already built a local following for her homemade energy bars, wanted to share that small-batch, handcrafted approach to food with others, and by doing so, build a business based on culinary craft, integrity, and sustainability. Big Spoon Roasters launched their lines of small-batch, handmade nut butters and snack bars in January 2011.
