This recipe is amazing! I found that allowing the dough to rest and marry made assembly much easier. Also, instead of using the wooden spoon, I used a baby spoon to create the nest and add the perfect amount of preserves. This is definitely a new favorite!

I just reduced the water to approximately 1/8 cup. The batter was still sticky, but that helps in sealing the extra dough over the jam. You do need to make a rather large well for 1/2 teasp. jam. Then, I flattened some of the reserved dough in my hand to make a cap for the cookies and just pressed on the edges to seal. They turned out great! I got 34 cookies.

These were very messy to make but worth the effort. I'll make again for sure.

Love these cookies. It took a couple of cookies to get the hang of filling and shaping but once I did it went quickly. This is a keeper.

Great tasting cookie, the coconut and raspberry are so good together. I just couldn't figure out how to get the dough to roll back into balls with the jam in. Simply put a dab of dough over the jam and baked... didn't look as nice but tasted excellent. Will try again and see if I can master them.

I substituted coconut oil for the shortening and these came out amazing! My family loved them! The dough was a bit soft, but not impossible to handle.

Very good cookies! After reading all the reviews I reduced water to 1/8 cup, used butter and doubled almond extract. I also put the dough to fridge for 30 min before shaping the cookies and had no problems with stickyness- they came out nice, almost ball shaped cookies with soft raspberry centers...delicious!

WOW!! delicious wonderful texture. bet you cant eat just one especially straight out of the oven. Substituted butter for shortening thats it the rest as is. A bit sticky and time consuming assembling but well worth it. Thanks

I used butter instead of shortening and ended up having to add extra flour to make the dough stiff enough to handle. They were tasty, but almost identical in flavor to a thumbprint cookie recipe I have...but these were more of a hassle to make...so I'll probably stick with my other recipe.

My family loved these, so I will try these again for sure. I followed the recipe exactly, but I found them to not be able to take any shape, so I spooned them onto the backing sheet, then with the back of my 1/2 t full spoon, made the indentation needed for the jam. I used my homeade jam, which made them more special. I think when I try these again I will reduce the water to 1/8 c. For me this only made 24 cookies.
