These are another favorite cookie of mine. They remind me of Christmas, since that is when my aunt makes her Linzer cookies and give them out to us. They are so melt-in-your mouth delicious. They are very dangerous to eat. I can never stop at just one!The traditional Linzer Cookie has two layers with the jam in between. I made a shortcut version that tastes just as amazing with less time and effort.I add finely crushed pecans, but you don't have to. But I think you really should. You … [Read more...]

These Raspberry Bars are super easy to make and even easier to become addicted to them. This is a great treat. It's crunchy on the bottom, chewy in the middle, and soft on top.
