On busy days, I appreciate this fast-to-fix drop sugar cookie. Top each cookie with your favorite flavor of jam or jelly. —June Quinn, Kalamazoo, Michigan

While this is supposed to be a quick, "fast-to-fix" cookie, better than the regular thumbprint cookie, I found these to be just as time consuming. While you don't have to roll out the dough like you do in a regular thumbprint cookie, you still have to press a glass in sugar and then flatten the cookie...before you can even put the jam down. What's the point? The lemon flavor of the cookie was very nice and surprising for this kind of cookie. They did flatten out even more in the oven and be careful not to bake too long, as they'll fall apart on you. They don't really turn brown at all. I would just rate these as an okay cookie, but won't make them again. If I'm going to have a jam/jelly-filled cookie, I'll stick to my normal thumbprint cookies.

I've made these amazing cookies and my family loved them. I tweaked the ingredients a bit and they turned out delicious.

I don't see any issue between the ingredients and the instructions. Mine came out a little spread so I added a tablespoon of flour and they were great!

This cookie was spread too much and the batter was too runny and could not be pressed down as directed. The instructions in the cookbook itself are correct, but here they are wrong.

kind of confusing: ingredients list baking powder, but directions say to add baking soda. Which one is correct? Sharon

It does seem that a recipe for ginger cookies got mixed up in this recipe. Easy enough to just leave out the goofy ingredients. ... ginger, cinnamon and cloves.

The list of ingredients and the ingredients in the directions do not match - causes confusion in cooking.
