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.

Made this on impulse for my cookie trays this year. Not only that but went ahead and made a double batch praying they were yummy. The first day I thought, Ok they are good and they look pretty so all is well. The next day, OMG, I cannot stay out of them. I am now praying I have some LEFT for cookie trays. This will be a permanent part of my trays from now on. Thank you so much for the wonderful addition to my holiday baking.

These were delicious! Perfectly flavored, melt in your mouth cookies. Next time think I'll try topping the cookies with chocolate Kisses and/or the Rolo caramel pieces. This recipe is a keeper!

Holy Cow, what a cookie! I have a huge family and everybody thought these were superb and of course now they must become a traditional part of my cookie trays. No problem, they went together so easily (love that kitchen aide!) . Only thing I will do any differently next time is cut the refridge time, the dough was very very stiff. Maybe half the time just to firm it up, then on from there. These were a delight. Thanks for sharing!!

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.

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

These are perfect. I was looking for 'jam drops' but came across this recipe and they are the same thing. Lovely cookies perfect for any time of the year, and so easy to make. Thanks!
