    Fantastic Cookie! My husband loved this cookie! I used Cherry preserves. And for the cute topping what I did was add a little flour to the remaining dough and used a tiny cookie cutter in the shape of a bell. Delicious taste and wonderful to behold. Thank you so much for this recipie...it's staying in my Christmas baking book.

    Were easier to make than I initially thought. The dough was a little too soft for the lattice cutting, but overall not too bad. The kids loved them and they tasted great! Definitely a keeper!

    Dough was very soft, almost impossible to cut into strips for the lattice. Fairly crumbly after cut into squares. Okay but not great, won't make again.

    My grandparents were Czechoslovakian-Prague area- and my dad said these are just like what grandma used to make. He said she would use cherry or apricot preserves. These were very tasty!

    I was looking for a more holiday version of a jelly cookie and stumbled across these. The way the recipe was written was a little confusing for me but once I figured out how to assemble them everything was a breeze! I didn't have any brandy on hand so used vanilla extract-a little sweet but still delicious. I also used raspberry preserves instead of cherry and I loved the flavor combination! Definitely a keeper, can't wait to try them again with brandy :

    These cookies are delicious,even better after a few days. They taste very much like a Linzer Torte. I did not find it difficult to make them. My family loves them. I will certainly make them again.

    At first I thought they'd be a bit on the sweet side, but the lemon cut that! Excellent cookie - a keeper! I had some dough left over and instead of tossing it, I made small plain cookies. I had small gingerbread & angel cutters and that added the perfect Holiday touch!

    These cookies are great. They take a little time but the results are worth it. I change the preserves to make make a variety. They are great for the holidays or a treat for family and friends.

    I made 6 different kinds of cookies for Christmas (all from FN.com, and these squares were by far the best. The cherry/lemon flavor was the perfect combination of sweet/tart. I have to admit that these were a bit labor-intensive, probably because I don't have a full-size food processor. I only have one that can hold 2 cups. So, I pulsed the sugar and walnuts per the instructions, and then used a pastry blender to add the rest of the ingredients for the crust. The crust came out great and was easy to roll into a log and slice. I didn't find the dough to be too sticky at all. I think I may have spread it thinner than the recipe called for, because mine only took about 30-35 minutes to bake. I did have a dough time cutting them with any knife--serrated or otherwise--because the cherry topping was very sticky. I think these cookies are more for adults than kids because they are a bit more sophisticated looking and tasting than your typical Christmas cookies. I MADE A TON OF COOKIES SO I COULD GIVE THEM AWAY TO FRIENDS, BUT I'M NOT GIVING ANY OF THESE AWAY BECAUSE THEY'RE SO DELICIOUS!!!! This recipe is a keeper that I will make for many holidays to come.
