These are delicate, shortbread-like cookies with a sweet raspberry jam filling. They are typically made with a buttery dough that is pressed and then filled with fruit preserves. The cookies often have a distinctive lattice pattern on top, allowing the jam to peek through. They offer a satisfying crumb and a burst of fruity sweetness in every bite.
