These rounds filled with fruit preserves were blue-ribbon winners at the county fair 2 years running. A family favorite, they never last past December 25!

They look delicious! I wonder if they would freeze well?

Simple and delicious! Stay soft if kept in an airtight container. Thanks for the recipe!

I submitted this recipe and I always use cold dough, make small round balls and carefully use my thumbprint and gently push the dough back up to meet the jelly. They turn out wonderful and my family loves these tender little cookies.

These cookies taste great but they spread more than the picture. I followed the recipe to a "T" twice and had the same result. (I am not a novice baker, either!)
