Mary-Rose I'm sorry you're disappointed. I can assure you that all published recipes are tested multiple times before they ever hit the pages of our magazines.

I'm really surprised with the reviews. I made these today and was not happy at all. The 1\/2 teaspoon salt was too much. You could taste it in the cookies. The cookies needed more like 15-20 minutes to bake. I took them out at 12 and they were raw. The jam spilled all over the cookie sheet and they were hard to remove. The flour was too much, and they came out hard. I am a seasoned baker; everything I bake comes out very well. But these cookies were a disappointment. In fact anything that I make from Taste Recipes recipes don't turn out that well with me. Are these tested, and if they are, do you know what you are doing in your Taste Recipes kitchen? I'm very disappointed with your recipes.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"12\/10\/2011 19:10","GUID":"d7f9d6cdfa064a869237058527d97938","MemberId":3777413,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"mary-rose55","SubmittedDate":"12\/10\/2011 19:10"},{"Comment":"

This recipe was very easy to make,I made them small so they would just pop in your mouth.Cot the cooking time to 10 min. I put my raspberry jam in a piping bag much easrier to put in the smaller cookies.They lokk great,I also add a lemon glaze swirl,again put it in a piping bag,them sprinkled it with a little gold dust.<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"12\/10\/2011 12:08","GUID":"ea4b8a7bb7524895b6796124211c27e8","MemberId":1967548,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"LenoraG","SubmittedDate":"12\/10\/2011 12:08"},{"Comment":"

I use melted chocolate in the center rather than the preserves. Love Chocolate and poppy seed together. Have dental floss ready for your guests, however.
