Inspired by a recipe for Hungarian Shortbread from pastry chef Gale Gand that appeared in Baking With Julia, these delicate jam-filled bar cookies are made with a shortbread dough that you freeze and then grate into the pan, which gives them a very light and crumbly texture. If you can’t find rose petal jam, substitute raspberry jam gilded with a splash of rose water.
