Linecké cukroví (Czech Linzer Christmas Cookies)
Linzer cookies scented with vanilla and lemon zest are one of the unmistakable symbols of Christmas. The shortcrust dough is easy to make and is left to rest in the cold until the next day. Once baked, the shapes are simply sandwiched together with jam for a batch of festive biscuits.
