Linzer CookiesRomulo Yanes

The key to delicious Linzer cookies is striking just the right balance of the tart raspberry jam filling with the thin, tender, and slightly sweet cookies. We think we've hit it with these — and they only get better after a few days.

Cooks' note:

Cookies keep, layered between sheets of wax paper or parchment, chilled in an airtight container 2 weeks.
