This was definately a good idea on my part to try these! I had a gathering of friends over so doubled the recipe. I should have tripled it as there was only crumbs on the cookie plates for my husband when he came home!! I used walnuts & raspberry jam, superb! I have alot of men in my family so I always make my cookies twice the size as a recipe calls for and these stayed together nicely but took about 10 mins for them to brown nicely. Excellent recipe!

A favorite since childhood! I used walnuts and raspberry preserves but you could use about any flavor of preserves and these would be great!
