These cookies were so easy, delicious and they look beautiful on a cookie platter! I didn't have parchment paper on hand so I sprayed butter on tinfoil and they came off very easy. I used peach and raspberry preserves.
This was the first time I made these cookies but they will be permanently on my christmas cookie list and a cookie I can whip up during the year too.

These were a hit. I made these (and several other cookies/truffles to give in tins as Christmas gifts and everyone loved them. I used apricot jam as well and they had a nice tanginess to them. I might try coating the edges with chopped nuts next time I make them. Very easy and inexpensive treat!

After reading some other reviews on how the cookie spread i was concerned about trying these, however I think I found the trick. My first batch I realized half way through the baking process that I did not put the jam in. I then put the jam in just to see how it would work. That I think was the trick. I put the jam in the rest of the cookies before putting them in the oven and found the best ones were the ones that I put in half way through the baking. They did not spread and the jam stayed in the cookies nicely. Not bad I would bake these again.

folks, when making this cookie, you must first roll it into a small ball. If you make the ball too big it will spread. After making the small ball, use your favorite thumb to make the slight imprint or well, for the jam. Too much jam makes the cookie too sweet.
All you really want is a taste of the jam anyways.

Other variations are to put very finely chopped nuts in the cookie dough, or roll the ball of dough in coconut, or finely chopped chocolate chips. I personally think that if a cookie is too sweet, it turns folks off. Leave the dough alone unless you add the finely chopped nuts. Don't roll it in sugar, Let the sweetness of the jam stand out all alone.

I just made these the other day and my whole family loved them. I'm definatly not a big baker but these were very easy and fun to make. My boyfriend even got in the spirit to help me out! I used Raspberry jam which turned out to be just sweet enough, but not too sweet like some other cookies can be. I'll for sure be making them again!

I made these for my husband and I for Christmas. I used huckleberry jam, because that's what I had on hand. I think they would have been better with a slightly more tart preserve, but that was my own doing, not the recipe. Regardless they were very tasty, and lasted for a week or more, still tasting great. I even took some of the batter and rolled them in cinnamon sugar to make some of them into a kind of snickerdoodle, just for a variety (I cheated, I know. I definitely recommend this recipe.
