When I found a jar of black raspberries seedless preserves I knew that would be my filling of choice. Black raspberries have always been a favorite of mine. I had seen other people fill them with chocolate, which also sounded very appealing, when all of a sudden a little light bulb went on in my brain - why not use both! Dark chocolate melted and spread first in a thin layer and left to harden then deep rich, black raspberry preserves on the top. Ooooooh! These are good!
Click here for the recipe I used to make the cookies. I found it to very good. 
so gorgeous susan! and i love the last ornament~ the sound decadently wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSusan - they look fantastic...I never tire of your ornaments.
ReplyDeleteI am so NOT getting tired of the Santa's! Gorgeous, keep them coming! I don't have ornaments :) So I love seeing all of yours!
ReplyDeleteI don't have Linzer's either :) Yours are fantastic!
What a treat! Your beautiful cookies and DARLING Santas, too!
ReplyDeleteI spy you on FG ~ Hooray Susan!
The rest of the world needs to discover your talent.
xo ~m.
I love the Santa tea pot too, never saw one like it!
ReplyDeleteThe cookies look fabulous!
Marigene sent me raspberry chocolate preserves she made....you would love it!
Susan, 12 " of new snow.... hopefully, January thru March will bring much less snow. And to think, it's not even officially winter yet.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the snow is beautiful, especially since you had heat and electricity and baking ingredients. The linzers are very pretty and what a wonderful combination, chocolate and black raspberry.
Another lovely group of Santas.... the teapot Santa is very cute and I really like your "pearl" garland. The two-piece ornament with Santa hanging onto the presents is unique ..... Oh, there all adorable!
Thank you, My Darling Bakers :) I served the Linzers to our friends after we came back here for dessert after dinner out tonight. They loved them!
ReplyDeleteSusan, those look fantastic... and I bet they taste even better! I have a lot of black raspberries frozen (picked this past summer). I plan to make preserves with them (when I have time). May need to use some in your recipe! I'm loving your Santas!
ReplyDeleteYou have a very lovely page. And the snow falling is quite cool. I have no idea how to do anything like that. I love linzer cookies, who doesn't but they are sort of always the same. Love the idea of chocolate. And black rasberry? Double mmm! Great Santa ornaments also. Have a blessed Christmas.
ReplyDeletePerfection..the beautiful jam jar adds to the elegance of your post:)
ReplyDeleteAren't the beautiful cookies Susan?
We babysat last night and C has left us some:) The Nutellas.
Your table will be festive and delicious.
What a beautiful post Susan! The cookies are gorgeous and even the preserves look special. The taste I would love too! Teapot santa...oh I adore him!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post Susan. The cookies are perfection and I love the little star cut outs displayed along side of them. I will never tire of your Santa collection and I too love the tea/coffee pot one. So unusual looking.
ReplyDeleteYou did well for staying inside on a snowy day :-)
