Total time: 150 min
Yield: 30
Ingredients: 200 g plain flour; 125 g butter; 50 g powdered sugar; 1 egg yolk; lemon zest to taste; 200 g ground walnuts; 100 g baby sponge biscuits (crushed); 200 g butter (room temperature); 100 g powdered sugar; rum to taste; chocolate for dipping (dark or milk, according to preference)

Preparing the Linzer dough: From the flour, powdered sugar, egg yolk, softened butter and lemon zest, work a smooth dough. Wrap it in cling film and let it rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Baking the tartlets: Press the rested dough into tartlet molds. Bake at 180 °C for 8–10 minutes, until golden. Let them cool completely and carefully unmold.

Nut filling: In a bowl, combine the ground nuts, crushed biscuits, powdered sugar and softened butter. Season with rum until the mixture has a smooth, easily moldable consistency.

Filling the tartlets: Fill the cooled tartlets with the nut mixture. For a neat appearance you can use a piping bag.

Chocolate finishing: Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie. Dip the top of each tartlet into the chocolate and let set in a cool place.
