OHHH MY! These are just delightful. Easy, quick, and so very yummy!!! The directions need to say, "Cool for several minutes before enjoying", though. I couldn't wait and scalded my tongue...lol! The filling really makes these little darlings. Made for PAC, 2009. YUMMMM

    OMG these are so good. I can't stop eating them! I'm not a big fan of shortbread, but DH loves it so I made it for him because I was bored and in a good mood I was very concerned with the texture of the dough though. I was thinking that it was too soft and it would spread but surprisingly, they held their shape. I used my homemade strawberry jam to top them off. I have a feeling DH is going to request these a lot.

    What a GREAT recipe! The only change I made was cut back 1/2 of the sugar (we don't want them too sweet) roll the dough in 1/2 inch for a mini pop-in-your- mouth goodness. The cookies are so buttery good. Thank you for the recipe. It's a big it in my family.

    These are just gorgeous. I needed a quick delicious biscuit to make in bulk and am so glad I chose this recipe. Knocks the sox off my old jam drop recipe. Just used my finger to poke a dent in the top of each one. A fabulous, fabulous recipe. And hey, I just realised I didn't chill the dough! An indestructable recipe, perfect for me. Thanks tons.
