Holiday cookie mystery

My grandmother used to make a Christmas cookie that was something like this:

In a pan, a base layer of dough, with maybe a hint of lemon.

Next, a thick layer of nuts, finely chopped and with sugar.

Another thin layer of dough.

A thin spread of preserves... I recall it was dark, and probably plum.

A dough lattice weave top. Smaller strips--maybe 1/4 inch.

Sprinkled with red and green sugar.

Baked, and then cut into squares.

My sisters and I are trying to figure out what these were, but no amount of googling is coming up with anything close. The nut mixture was the star. My grandmother was Italian but spoke Croatian and cursed like a sailor, if that helps. Any ideas what this cookie may have been called?
