Step 1: Prepare and Bake Jam Linzer Cookies

Mix the flour with the powdered sugar and salt. Add the cold butter and quickly rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Knead the dough quickly, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Roll out the dough, cut out shapes (making sure half of them have a hole in the center), and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10–12 minutes. Once cooled, sandwich the solid and holed pieces together with apricot or redcurrant jam, and dust with powdered sugar.

Step 2: Prepare and Bake Mini Poppy Seed Rolls

Prepare the dough in the same manner as the Linzer dough. For the filling, simmer the ground poppy seeds with the sugar and milk in a small saucepan, then let it cool completely. Roll the dough out thin, spread the cooled poppy seed filling evenly over it, roll it up tightly, and cut into small logs. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes until golden brown.

Step 3: Prepare and Bake Sesame Puff Pastry Bites

Roll out the puff pastry. Beat the egg and brush it evenly over the top of the pastry. Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds and a pinch of salt, then cut into small squares. Bake at 200°C (400°F) for about 15 minutes until beautifully puffed and golden brown.

Step 4: Prepare and Bake Walnut-Filled Cookies

Prepare the dough using flour, butter, powdered sugar, and egg yolks. Roll out and cut into small circles. For the filling, mix the ground walnuts with honey. Place a small dollop of the walnut-honey filling onto each dough circle, then fold them in half to form pockets. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 12–15 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar.

Step 5: Prepare and Bake Vanilla Crescents

Knead a smooth dough from the flour, butter, ground walnuts or almonds, and powdered sugar. Shape the dough into small crescents (kipferls). Bake at 170°C (340°F) for 15 minutes. While still warm, gently roll them in vanilla-infused powdered sugar.

Step 6: Prepare and Bake Tender Filled Cookies

Prepare the dough by combining the flour, butter, and sugar. Divide the dough into small portions. Fill each portion with jam or walnut filling, shape as desired, and bake at 180°C (350°F) until lightly golden.
