Cherry Linzertorte

This jam-filled pastry with a cookie-like dough takes its name from the town of Linz. The recipe uses cherry preserves for the filling. It makes enough dough for the torte and extra cookies. To make cookies, roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out decorative shapes and bake at 350°F on a parchment-lined sheet until golden, about 10 minutes.
