    These are absolutely fabulous!

    I do, of course, have one suggestion. The dough is easier to work with if you stick in the refrigerator for a few minutes.

    I just made these cookies today and they came out great. Soooo delicious. I even tried some apple butter in the center for a few cookies which was also tasty. I would definitely make this recipe again.

    This is my December, 2011 update. This recipe produces the loveliest, tenderest thumbprint EVER, hands down! The light lemon flavor combined with the Chambord/raspberry mixture is fabulous. I make two batches, refrigerate them, then bake them off throughout Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Make them NOW.

    These are the best Christmas cookies we made so far. I did however add a touch more lemon as I really like a good lemony flavor.

    I love these cookies!! I've made them on several occasions and with great results. The butter lemon cookie is so tender and buttery; with just the right amount of lemon flavor. Also, one time I substitued strawberry jam and it worked just as well. Try them!

    these cookies are heavenly!! moist and have a nice mini crumble. I perfered using the liquor because the filling came out a tad bit gooey with out it. aprocot jelly tasted super good to minus the liquor.

    This recipe is easy and the best Christmas cookie. I omitted the Chambord/kirsch just because I did not have it on hand but they still were very delicious and were eaten within a few days and needed to make a second batch. I did try strawberry jam and marmalade in some of the for a test and they all came out tasting excellent.

    This is my husband's favorite Christmas cookie. He paces around the kitchen wondering when they will be ready and usually burns his mouth on the hot filling because he won't wait for them to cool. Instead of the raspberry jam I make a compote with dried cherries and add a little cinnamon and cardamom for that holiday flavor. Always a hit.

    I love this recipe! I have made it so many times for so many different people. Each group of people I have made it for, are all so very different and at each gathering I have had requests for this recipe from several people if not all. Delicious and the texture is just beautiful! This is definitely a keeper!

    I was looking for a lemon cookie for Christmas gifts. Responses to this cookie were wow. I added a bit more lemon. Also, I did not use the Kirsch, for personal reasons. I don't have to buy Pepperridge Farm Verona "lemon raspberry sugar cookies ever again. This is better, in my opinion. I felt it took more prep time than 20 minutes. But who cares, once you eat the results.
