In reply to Nannette. Hi Nannette! Yes, just make sure to cover them well and store in a freezer safe container.

In reply to Emily @ Sugar Spun Run. Thank you so much. I don't know how I missed it. Recipe-browsing overload maybe!

These are soooo good! I want to do some with chocolate filling. How would I do that?? Does it get baked in? Is it a frosting? Tips appreciated!

I made 400 of these cookies for my daughter’s sweet 16. Used raspberry, apricot, cherry, peach, and strawberry preserves. Everyone absolutely loved them!

Made these with a mango coconut lime preserve. It was absolutely delicious, this one will own a space in my recipe book

These are the best cookies by far! Double the recipe the size I make only makes about a dozen. I use my homemade jams. Again the best!

In reply to Dakota Hendrickson. Hi Dakota! You could certainly fill these with lemon curd. :)

In reply to Theresa. I'm so sorry to hear this happened, Theresa! Did you weigh your flour? Did you make any other adjustments? Are you at a high altitude? A little too much flour can cause this issue. :(

Hi Sam,
Was wondering if homemade lemon curd could be used instead of jam?
Super excited to try these!

Hi I made this recipe and my cookies came out dry and cracked. I followed the recipe and baked them for 10 minutes. They taste good but I am very disappointed in how they look.

Hi Sam….. I made your version of these cookies for the first time using the brown sugar. I made this as one of the cookies for my granddaughter’s graduation. She absolutely loved them. I am going to make them again tonight for my uncle who is 101 years old and I am going to use the endof my spatula and make a “V” shape instead of a hole to make a heart shape in the thumbprint cookie. My grandkids and their friends love that shape and my uncle will too. Thank you for your new twist on a old recipe I have made for years.

These cookies are easy to make, taste great, and have a wonderful texture; kids can’t get enough of them!

In reply to PJ. I hope you love these, PJ! You could certainly roll these in chopped pecans if you'd like. :)

how many cookies does this recipe make??

Nice recipe. My Mom made cookies like this when I was a kid and I was looking for a recipe. I remember her rolling the balls of dough in very finely chopped pecans instead of sugar.

Perfect shape and texture. I scaled the ingredients and froze the cookies overnight then added homemade jams and baked. All the cookies looked like they came straight from a bakery and tasted amazing.

In reply to Bonnie. Thank you so much for trying my recipe, Bonnie! I'm so glad you enjoyed the cookies so much! :)

I followed, weighed as she stated, and I could not believe how pretty they looked and they are one of my favorite cookies. My cookies looked like her finished cookies and this recipe is amazing. I enjoyed every bite of these cookies and was so proud to include them in my cookies I give to my neighbors.

Because I usually make smaller cookies because I try and include 8+ kinds, I would love to make these half the size but don’t want to adjust on my own . Love these
