Both gooey and elegant, with their jewel-like filling, Linzer Bars make an ideal cookie for the holidays—or any time of year.
Filled cookies
Apple-Filled Oatmeal Cinnamon Bars
Think of these oat-crusted, apple-filled bars as an apple crisp in cookie form.
Viennese Marbled Hussar Cookies
Marbled with chocolate and vanilla batters and filled with jam, these cookies represent the best of the Viennese pastry tradition.
Scottish Tea Biscuits with Great Grandma Lucas’s Lemon Butter
Rich and not too sweet, these tea biscuits, served with lemon curd, or lemon butter as my great grandma preferred to call it, would make a lovely dessert for Mother’s Day or a May birthday.
Prune-Filled Kolaches
Also called kolachke or kolachky, variations of this pastry are popular among Czechs, Slovaks, Poles, Russians and Bohemians.
