This recipe is perfect. I made them as gifts and my boyfriend loves them!
If your dough flattens out during baking consider the following:
1Did you use an X-large egg? The recipe calls for a large egg.
2Did you use stick butter? If you MUST use margarine use stick margarine. Tub butters and margarines are meant to be spreadable and are NOT made for baking
3Is it cool enough? Butter doughs may get too soft and spread during warmer seasons. If your dough is spreading out too much chill it in the refrigerator for 30+min. Do not use a cookie sheet that is hotter than room temperature. Let your cookie sheet cool down/chill in the freezer between batches.
4How big are your cookies? The dough should have a diameter of one inch. I might suggest even smaller.
5 Are you using jam? The recipe calls for jam, not preserves, spread, or jelly. The others are too watery.

I recommend using small grain sugar for rolling, not large grain. Rolling in large grain is better for large, chewy cookies.

Just made these tonight with raspberry jelly! I didn't have parchmnt paper so I just used cooking spray for the sheets and it worked just as good. They came out great and taste really good! I dusted them with powdered sugar once they cooled for an extra christmas touch!

These cookies are delicious. Some were made with strawberry jam and some with nutella. The nutella kind are decadent. Also dizzled them with white chocolate.

Make double!!! These go soooo fast. They are so simple yet so yummmy. My only advice is when picking out your jam make sure it is a thick based jam and not some watered down fruit spread. I accidentally used a fruit spread on my first batch and the strawberry spread more or less seeped into the cookie. They were still tasty but not very attractive..lol
Also, for the sugar coating I suggest using a sugar in the raw type sugar (larger crystals for a great contrasting texture to the soft cookie.

These were a perfect pick-me-up butter cookie for the holidays. A quick cookie, the only time-consuming part is the whipping the butter-sugar (if you're beating by hand. I used a marmalade from IKEA - elderflower and orange, phenomenal!! I also combined some leftover cranberry sauce with a little strawberry jam for alternates - red and golden dot cookies!

These were the worst disaster ever! They spread out so much on the baking sheet and ran together. The filling actually seeped through to the baking sheet. When I put them in the oven they looked perfect. But did not turn out that way. I even chilled the second batch before baking but nothing helped. I am not an inexperienced baker and have been making FN recipes and cookies for more years than I can remember. Is there something I missed?
