These Ischl Tarts, inspired by classic Austrian Linzer cookies, blend two buttery shortbread-style doughs for a festive twist. One is delicately spiced with cinnamon and cloves, while the other is rich and plain, creating a beautiful contrast in both flavor and appearance. The browned butter base adds deep, nutty notes that complement the jewel-like filling of raspberry or apricot preserves. When sandwiched together and dusted with powdered sugar, these cookies become an elegant holiday treat. Our Test Kitchen staff praised their melt-in-your-mouth texture and nostalgic charm, perfect for gifting or pairing with tea.
