So, first of all, I should have left a review on these years ago. I've been making them forever, and they're perfect. I've never had this recipe fail. I do follow a previous review and chill the dough for ~30 minutes before baking, and make exactly 24 each batch. <\/p>

They are rich, butter, tender and easy.<\/p>

This year I tried something new and loved it. My husband keeps sneaking them, I'm struggling to stay away and I'm a little afraid to share with our friends. Instead of strawberry, raspberry or strawberry-rhubarb jam, we substituted a homemade jalepe\u00f1o peach jam. It has it all- texture, spice and a flavor like honey over warm buttered shortbread. I highly recommend.<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2024-04-08","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"david3304"},"reviewBody":"

Never tried making these with butter.

If you like the packaged shortbread cookies with the jam centers, you will love these. I doubled the recipe, and used my stand mixer to cream the butter, sugar, and eggs. I added the flour on low speed, and mixed just until crumbly, then followed the kneading directions in the recipe. I used a silicone pastry mat and a bench scraper, so I didn\u2019t need to flour my work surface. I weighed my dough, and each ball was 20g. This gave me 48 cookies. I used the small side of a melon baller to make the indentations, and a level 1\/4 teaspoon of jam per cookie. Stirring the jam first loosens it up for easier measuring. The dough needs to be soft when you press in the indents, or it will crack. Mine took 16 minutes to bake.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2015-12-14","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"OrangeButterfly"},"reviewBody":"These cookies are delicious!!

My mother used to make these for years. It's an old recipe. However, to make your cookies more puffy and even, do this: Use COLD butter, not softened. Once the dough is made, chill in fridge for about 30 minutes. Also, make sure the balls are not overly big. You want to get 24 cookies out of this recipe. Additionally, don't make a thumbprint, make a WELL, a hole. If you make a thumbprint, the jam will just spread all over the cookie while baking.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2019-07-11","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"GreenCarrot"},"reviewBody":"This is my go-to cookie recipe when I want to whip up something quick and easy, but also want to impress. I\u2019ve probably made this at least 40 times and I always get asked for this recipe. People are always surprised to find how few ingredients are actually in this! Like the other reviewers have mentioned, definitely make a well, not a thumbprint. I use the back of a wooden spoon and kind of spread it around to make it a bit bigger. I also have tried different jams\/preserves over the years, and my favorite is definitely Knott\u2019s SEEDLESS raspberry preserves.i don\u2019t chill the dough or keep the butter cold, but I also don\u2019t mind it not being as puffy as the picture; the flavor and texture of the baked cookie is still great!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2017-12-22","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"PurpleGoggles"},"reviewBody":"I like the taste of these quite a bit, however the suggested baking time was wildly inaccurate. I cooked these for all of maybe seven minutes and they were perfectly done. Definitely don\u2019t pop them in and walk away, that\u2019s for sure. The second time I made them I substituted confectioner\u2019s sugar in place of the granulated: the result was a much more tender cookie with a more even flavor. I do recommend chilling them for about half an hour before rolling them into balls, but chilled butter doesn\u2019t seem necessary for them to keep their shape so long as the prepared dough is chilled and the balls not too large.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2019-09-27","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"RedButton"},"reviewBody":"I thought these cookies were fantastic-so did everyone else.
