These are so beatiful! They're abit time-consuming, but not difficult to make. Mine came out abit bigger because my cookie cutter was 2 1/2" wide, so I baked them for about 12 minutes. That was good, but I still think next time I'll make them smaller because you have to remember that you're really eating two cookies at one time - they're wonderful! Thanks for a festive, elegant cookie!

I've been making these cookies for years at Christmas time. I found the recipe maybe in BH&G magazine. they are the hit of the season. I'm going to make them for the 4th of July by painting a flag on them instead of holly.

These cookies have become our favorite Christmas cookie of all times. It's just not Christmas without them. I've been making them for many years and thought I would never find the recipe again until I looked here and found Debbie's. Thanks so much...our tradition will carry on.

Thank you so much for sending this in. I used to make these almost 20 yrs. ago and always got rave reviews. I lost the recipe and have searched endlessly. The one thing to remember is be sure to use seedless jam. I hve decorated these to match many different holidays square flags, oval Easter eggs etc. I'm soooooo happy to have the recipe again.

I found this recipe in Better Homes and Gardens in the early 80s I think. It was part of a contest. I've made them every Christmas and they always sell out at the cookie walk.

Thank you so much for posting this recipe! I made them years ago and then lost the recipe and have searched over and over for it. These are so delicious and so Christmasy. I was thrilled to be able to make them again for my family and they will be a tradition from now on!
