I haven’t made these cookies yet, but when I do I will add preserves before I bake them, as I do with my other thumbprint cookies...
This is a great recipe for a holiday cookie tray. The cookies are so pretty, and I love varying the flavor of the preserves to add flavor and color variety. They taste really good too!
hii excellent recipe i made this before, i will try this one
very good cookies! can be made into smaller balls of dough on cookie sheets, i used my metal tsp bottom to make the holes in the middle, works better but you need to do it again halfway through baking. They look beautiful when filled with your favorite jams! i used my homemade freezer jam! Will definately be a keeper in my house!
Delicious cookies. The recipe didn't mention the necessity to chill prior to rolling, but my dough was so soft I had to refrigerate for about an hour. I didn't know if the finished cookies would need to be refrigerated, but I did anyway just to be safe. This recipe is definitely a keeper for us, but I would like to know if final refrigeration is necessary.
Absolutely fantastic!!!!! I made a batch to take to my teacher and all of them were impressed!!! Even the Home Ec teacher said they were marvelous!!!!!
Since finding this in the magazine it has become a yearly favorite!
