Sheet Pan Linzertorte
A Sheet Pan linzertorte is a type of tart made with a nutty crust and filled with jam. And though typically baked in a circular pan and topped with a lattice crust, we had fun breaking the rules. For a Valentines Day-inspired dessert, we cut out hearts from half of the dough, and baked it in a rimmed baking sheet for a party-ready treat. But you can adapt this cookie for any holiday celebration simply by using seasonal cookie cutters. And while we enjoy raspberry jam in our linzertorte, any flavor will do: blackberry, blueberry, and mixed berry, too.
