This is an interesting dessert. I am not sure if you'd call them cookies, cakes or bars but they would be lovely with tea or coffee. They are delicious jam filled sweet treats. I found these in an old cook book and am not sure where the name comes in

I love these. Great taste, easy to make. I had to make a second batch the next day for hubby to take to work! Got to love that!

My mom made these after finding the recipe in Pillsbury Family Desserts cookbook pamphlet. They are so good! She used 3 different jams - raspberry, mixed fruit, and cherry for the filling. A very nice treat for the dessert tray on Easter Sunday.

I think I just figured out where the name split seconds comes from...its the perfect moment when the cookie is hot enough to cut without breaking and the jam icool enough to not run. Seriously, these are as simple as a bar cookie but far more elegant. For variety, I used almond extract instead of vanilla. Paired well with raspberry jam. And yes, jams work better than jellies.

Maybe one of the prettiest, easiest, cheapest, as made with things you just have around cookies there is. I filled half with strawberry jam and half with blueberry. I know this recipe from one of those Pillsbury Bakeoff cookie booklets from the grocery store line. A real winner. Looks ike you bought them at a fancy bakery for almost no effort. I did them on parchement and they are easier to cool, fill and cut that way.
