My mother gave me the recipe for these rich buttery cookies. Raspberry preserves and a cream filling make them doubly delicious.

Thank you for your question. We recommend storing these cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator - the recipe will be updated soon.

These look delicious but I have a question: the filling calls for softened butter but the recipe doesn't say to refrigerate the cookies. Won't the butter spoil if not refrigerated?

They are delicious. The only thing is that 2/3 cup of dough to cover them was not enough for my 30 cookies. I left some uncovered. They looked different but were just as good.

This was my 2nd year to make these for Christmas cookie baking. They are so delicious - even if you don't like coconut - it just has great flavor. I used black raspberry spreadable fruit this year instead of rasp preserves and they are once again a hit! Quick and easy to make too. Will make every year!
