Jam Cookies
Description
This recipe won't take much time. For our family, the jam-filled cookies described in this recipe are more than just homemade baking—they've become a true Sunday ritual. We get the kids involved in making them (they especially love sealing the jam-filled squares of dough) and we have a wonderful time—first baking the cookies, then eating them :) And the lovely scent of homemade baking lingers in the apartment all day long. I suggest you make these wonderful jam cookies too—they're very easy to prepare and turn out tasty and impressive :) Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
