Living in the town of North Pole, it's no surprise that I enjoy Christmas baking! My mom and I used to make these cookies together. Now that I am married and living in Alaska, I love to bake them for my own family. They remind me of home. -Heather Peters, North Pole, Alaska

I'm not a big fan of Linzer cookies, but these chocolate ones are really good. The chocolate flavor is rich and the raspberry filling is tart and sweet.
