“When I was a single mom with a young daughter and little money, my Swedish neighbor brought me a batch of these cookies at Christmas. My daughter’s 36 now, and I still make these wonderful cookies.” —Marina Castle North Hollywood, California

This is a great, out-of-the ordinary recipe, and not too sweet. I used seeded raspberry jam because that's what I had and no one cared. Watch out, the crust is kind of addictive.

Good for a change from the many chocolate bar recipes I make -- but the chocaholic in me can't help wondering if a bit of chocolate drizzled over the top wouldn't put it 'over the top'???

Excellent, but almond extract (1/2 tsp.) to butter, flour, sugar mixture; also use 12 oz. seedless raspberry jam and 1 1/2 cups almonds - richer tasting and more luxurious looking.

I made these bars for Christmas time, and I thought they turned out pretty well. The meringue topping is unique, and they aren't too sweet. While I wouldn't rate it as a favorite, it was very good, and as others have mentioned, I would definitely consider making for a cookie exchange.

I made this easy recipe twice so far. The first time I only had seedless strawberry jam available so used that. The second time I used the raspberry jam. Both were delicious, but we preferred the raspberry. This is a simple recipe, but tastes like you worked all afternoon to create it.

I made a sample batch last weekend for a cookie exchange I am going to this week. I need 6 dozen so was checking to see how they tasted after freezing. I made them following the recipe and they are fabulous. Can't wait to make 2 more batches and bring them to the cookie exchange. I tasted one today from the freezer and will mark the recipe "freezer friendly".

Very quick and very easy to make. Everyone loved them. I did leave the coconut out (husband doesn't like it) but followed the recipe otherwise. I think they would also be great with cherry, apricot or peach jam.

I just got this from my Dec.2010/Jan.2011 Taste of Home and I love it. The only differences I made were using an 8" square pan and using strawberry jam-the strawberry jam because that is what I thought it said until I was ready to put it in the oven. Very good, very easy. Thank you.
