i just finished my first batch. Tthey turned just perfect. followed directions to a T. I made sure to make my thumbprint pretty deep so I didn't have ant problems with jelly leaking overboard. Make the balls one inch in size so the well is deep for the jelly. Loved these cookies, this is a keeper!

Dang - my cookies look terrible - they are too spread out, and the jam ran to the edges. I did not read the reviews. Next time I will probably add a little extra flour, chill the dough, and bake the cookies for half the time before adding the jam.

Super good cookie - great buttery flavor. I took the other reviewers advice and cooked them 1/2 way before adding the jam. They are a little fragile so they won't ship well - but who cares? We made a double recipe and it's a good thing! None left <sigh>

These cookies turned out very good, I liked that the cookie was soft and buttery. I found that to have nice looking cookies I needed to bake the cookies without jam or the 'thumbprint' for half the time (8 minutes in my oven then pull them out, put in the thumbprint and jam, and finish them another 8 minutes. This made a beautiful cookie that I am excited to give as christmas presents.

Ok I've written this a few times - I hope only once appears and you guys aren't bombarded by multiple reviews from me. After reading the reviews I tried the cookies BOTH ways. 1. adding the jam at the beginning (after chilling dough for about 30min and 2. baking halfway, using 1/4 tsp to make the 'thumbprint' adding the jam and baking the rest of the way. #2 did produce slightly rounder 'better' looking cookies, but it was a little more work in my opinion. So it depends on what you're using the cookies for and what's important. I also cut the sugar in the recipe slightly so I could roll them in sugar without them being too sweet. This produced a nice crunchy texture. I used fig spread (no sugar, sweetened with grape juice, which is what I had on hand - the taste was very yummy and festive :

Amazing! I have made many different variations on this recipe, but this one is by far the best! The cookie is so soft and chewy with a delicious sugar coating! Outstanding!

Growing up as a child my Granny M,would make this cookies with her homemade jams...I make these cookies all the time....So glad they are making a come back...I love these cookies my FAV....great anytime....And alittle tip for the un-experienced bakers with must let your cookie dough rest atleast 30 min to a hour in the refrigerator...but for a flatter - thiner cookie then bake without resting....
