- Roll the dough 1/4 inch and cut 2 3/4 inch rounds with a plain or fluted cutter. With 1/2 of the rounds, cut a hole from the middle of each round with a heart or round small shape. I cut them with a star shape..
- Place all the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet and chill for 15 minutes.
- Bake the cookies until the edges begin to brown. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Spread apricot or strawberry jam on the flat side of each solid cookie. Dust the top of cut-out cookies with powdered sugar and press the flat sides together with the raspberry jam in the middle and the powdered sugar on the top

Lightly spiced, jam-filled linzer cookies (a smaller version of the classic linzer torte) are a traditional sandwich cookie with a tender texture and subtle nutty flavor that comes from finely ground almonds in the dough As with sugar cookies, which benefit from the addition of frosting, the dough for a linzer does not need to be too sweet: It's filled with a tangy raspberry jam and finished. This is a good basic recipe for linzer cookies. Linzer Cookies are one of those cookies that I've never been thrilled about.
