Raspberry-Apricot Linzer Cookies

The Linzer Cookie or Torte is the world's oldest known cake or cookie documented in Austria in 1653, discovered by Countess Anna Margarita Sagramosa. The Cookie or Torte was baked like a pie with a delicious buttery almond crust and black preserves. In Linz, a city in Austria the bakers would mix up batches of Linzeretorte dough, but instead if making pies they would cut shapes such as stars, circles & hearts. Then dusted with powdered sugar or decorated with icing. These were perfect for the holidays. It traveled to America in the 1850's. Now everyone enjoys their own favorite recipe...Here is an example from my favorite baking magazine. I have attached the recipe and hope you will give it a try!
