When Mother baked zweiback rolls--which means 'twice baked'--she'd guard them, lest they disappear quickly! She would bake them on Sundays when friends came by for 'fsapa' a meal of cold meat, cheese, jelly and coffee.

Linzer Cookies

I know these are bars and not cutouts, but they taste just as good! The Linzer Cookie is a family of cookies that are varied enough to include cocoa in some recipes. The constant is a cookie base made of finely chopped nuts, and a fruit-jam center; a crispy, buttery delicacy no matter what type!
