With all the focus on texture, cutout cookies rarely get too crazy in terms of flavor. If you want to venture beyond the classic sugar cookie, try this recipe for jam-filled Linzer cutouts, adapted from The King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion. The brown sugar in the dough gives the cookies a warmer color and flavor, and any jam, providing it's dense and not too runny, will work as a filling.
Linzer cookie cutters come in a variety of shapes and are designed for one thing only: to cut little "windows" that expose the glossy jam filling beneath.
