Damned if I can find it but its pretty well identical to yours except I make it even easier by using the 'all in one ' method! I find it makes no difference at all to the texture. Here is a photo of mine:

Oh, wow. It's like a giant, spongey linzer tart.

And now I have to know what a Linzer Tart is

Me too. I could Google but I will resist.

It's a traditional Austrian Christmas cookie that is really two cookies, usually flavored by a type of nut like almond, but is filled with a type of jam between the, then it's topped by icing sugar.

I have 8" cake tins, so use 4 eggs, 8 oz butter etc. In fact, the eggs I used the other day weighed more than 8 oz so I had to up the rest of the ingredients. I've had a look in one of my old cookery books and that states "weigh the eggs and add an equal weight of......". It also tells you which size of tin to use for the weight of eggs. No ingredients list as such. Much easier than some modern cookery books where you can end up with a Victoria brick sandwich
