How to Draw a Linzer Cookie
Draw a linzer cookie in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: a round plate.
Step 1: A round plate
In the middle of your paper draw a big round plate, as wide as your hand.
Step 2: The rim
Draw a second circle a finger inside the plate, all the way round, for the rim.
Step 3: A big cookie
Left of the plate's middle draw a big cookie with an edge of even round bumps, half the plate wide.
Tip A Linzer cookie is 2 cookies with jam inside and a window on top.
Step 4: A heart window
In the middle of the big cookie draw a heart, a third as wide as the cookie.
Step 5: A smaller cookie
At the lower right draw a smaller cookie with even round bumps, tucked behind the big one.
Step 6: A round window
In the middle of the small cookie draw a small circle for its window.
Step 7: A jam shine
Inside the top left of the heart draw a tiny slanted oval for a shiny spot of jam.
Step 8: Tan cookies
Colour both cookies tan, leaving the windows for now.
Step 9: Sky plate
Colour the plate sky blue, around the cookies.
Step 10: Red jam
Colour the heart and the round window red for jam, around the shine. Your cookie is done!

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a linzer cookie, drawn by you.
