BLACKBERRY-PECAN LINZER COOKIES
Aida Mollenkamp puts an American spin on her version of this Austrian sandwich cookie: Toasted pecans and brown sugar flavor the dough, and blackberry jam, a West Coast staple, makes a dark, earthy filling.

Steps:
- Add the nuts to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade and pulse until finely ground (it should be powdery and not a paste), about 15 pulses. Set aside. Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a large bowl until evenly combined. Set aside.
- Put the butter and both sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on medium speed until creamy and light, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the mixer, scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the vanilla and egg yolk. Mix until well incorporated.
- Mix in the orange zest, ground pecan powder and the flour mixture until just incorporated. Divide the dough into two even pieces, pat each into a thin disk, enclose in plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange the racks in the upper and lower third of the oven. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature until pliable enough to roll. Roll out half of the dough on a piece of lightly floured parchment or waxed paper to 1/4-inch thickness. Using a 2-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out rounds of dough. Using a 3/4-inch round cookie cutter, cut out the center of half of the rounds to make rings. Transfer the rounds and rings to the freezer to set up for 5 minutes before continuing. Gather the dough scraps and chill.
- Transfer the chilled cookies to the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 1 inch between each cookie. Bake two sheets of cookies at a time until the undersides are golden, rotating the sheets halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes total. Cool 5 minutes on the sheets, and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat until all the dough is used. To assemble the cookies, spread 1/2 teaspoon jam on the bottom side of each solid round cookie, and then top with a ring-shaped cookie.

LINZER COOKIES
Steps:
- Position racks in the lower and upper third of the oven and preheat to 350. Place the almonds and pecans on a baking sheet; toast on the upper oven rack until lightly browned and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Let cool, then pulse in a food processor with 1/4 cup granulated sugar until finely ground. (Don't overprocess or the mixture will turn into a paste.) Turn off the oven.
- Whisk the flour, cinnamon, cardamom and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Using a mixer, beat the butter and the remaining 11/4 cups granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract, egg yolks, and the lemon and orange zest; add the ground nuts. Add the flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated (do not overmix). Divide the dough into 2 pieces; place 1 piece between 2 lightly floured sheets of parchment paper and roll into a 14-inch square, about 1/4-inch thick. Repeat with the other piece of dough. Refrigerate both rectangles, covered with the parchment sheets, until firm, at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350. Cut the dough into hearts with a 21/4- to 21/2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter. Using a smaller heart-shaped cutter (about 11/2 inches), cut out the centers from half of the cookies (you can reroll the centers and scraps). Place the cookies, about 1 inch apart, on baking sheets and bake 2 sheets at a time until the edges are golden, 12 to 15 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through. Cool on wire racks.
- Sift confectioners' sugar over the cookies. Spread 1 teaspoon raspberry preserves evenly over each whole heart cookie, leaving a slight border around the edge; top with the cut-out heart cookies.
