    This is one of my family's favorites, just as Ina has posted it. One small change, I have used "hot sweet" fruit/habenjero jam and it is THE cookie in demand.

    The dough is perfect just as it is - a little crumbly when you take it out of the fridge. I form 12 balls at a time (and use a scale to get 1 oz portions and THEN put on the egg wash/coconut. The dough has warmed enough by that point that they are easy to indent and don't crumble at all.

    This is my "go to" cookie. Everyone LOVES them. Easy to make, store... and eat! I make them for Christmas and Easter.

    Ina has never steered me wrong, but I'd actually add an egg or two to this dough like most other recipes call for. It is a bit dry.

    I made these for the first time today and they came out great. I did not have any problems with the dough being too crumbly or dry. When I removed the flattened dough disc from the fridge, I cut it into 8 pie-shaped wedges. I then rolled each wedge into a large ball. I cut each ball in half and then cut each half in half to get 4 dough pieces from each wedge. This ensured I got the full 32 servings that the recipe indicated (as I don't have a scale to measure out 1 oz portions. However, I found the cookies are on the big size and next time would aim for 40-48 cookies.

    I rolled the whole cookie in egg wash and coconut - can't figure out how some posters were able to only do that to the top - that is beyond my capabilities :- But, I had no problems with the coconut on the bottom burning. I used the back of a 1/2 tsp measuring spoon to create the thumbprint. And I used a very health rounded 1/4 tsp of jam and had no problems with the jam leaking out.

    These are the cookies that my family requests every year. I have added walnuts, a hersey kiss and other items to the dough to try other variations. It's just a great cookie dough. The first year I made them for a cookie exchange party they were a big hit. Now my friends are making them too. I'm a big fan of anything Ina.

    These cookies ended up coming out great after a little tweeking. For high altitude I lower the tempature by 25 degrees and shortened the cooking time to about 20 mins.

    I just made these cookies again to include in my Christmas cookie trays that I give as gifts to friends and neighbors. They are always a hit and they are my favorite of all of the cookies I bake. They turn out perfectly everytime! Thanks, Ina, for a fabulous recipe!
