These cookies are quick, easy, simple (just a few ingredients, and ones you’re bound to have on hand) and most importantly, delicious. Thank you so much!

Super easy, made with on-hand ingredients and delicious! Definitely will be making these again. Bonus- with no eggs in the recipe, I felt less guilty eating the dough haha!

So great! I love only have to use basic ingredients becasue those are often the best recipes. They were buttery delicious and yet sweet and satisfying. I just have to be careful not to make my thumbprint so deep… I had a few melted ones. (My own fault!) Thanks for the treat!

Love these cookies. Super easy to make and they look as those I spent hours making them. DH was eating them faster than I could make them! Definitely a keeper in my recipe box. Thank you for sharing!

I just finished making these! They are delicious. I found the crumbly dough difficult, but managed. I took the advice of making the balls a scant inch. this yielded about 40 cookies. I cooked them in 2 batches, for my second batch – I was more careful about creating high sides for the well, so the jam wouldn’t pour out. Also didn’t put in as much jam as possible as the recipe suggests. It worked out much better for me this way. I also added a dab of almond extract to the icing. delicious, and will make again!

Loved these cookies… just need to make a deeper well for the jam next time but yummy!!

These were exactly what I hoped they’d be. Delicious!
I was a little surprised how much they “puffed” in baking. I used a small scoop I already had and got exactly 24 – made half black raspberry and half strawberry and used white chocolate drizzle instead of powdered sugar.

Excellent cookies! Love the almond extract flavor. The first time I made the recipe the cookies spread quite a bit – but were still tasty. (I sacrificed myself and ate most of them personally.) The second time I refrigerated the dough for a while. This helped them hold their shape. I also did not fill quite so full of jam. Much prettier this time. Also, used homemade blackberry jam as that is what I happened to have on hand. Had to give them away quickly before I ate the whole second batch!!

I made these for Christmas and they were wonderful. I love the almond flavor. I’ve made them since Christmas and will be making them again this week, they are sooooo good! Thanks for sharing.

These are lovely cookies! I made mine with fresh orange marmalade and left off the icing as they were already very sweet. Very quick and easy!

I’ve been making these cookies for years with a slight variation. Instead of the water with the powdered sugar I add milk and some more almond extract then I melt some chocolate and drizzle that on top of the cookie after the powdered sugar glaze. Thanks for sharing.

These are awesome! Super, super easy and so tasty…and some of the dough even made it to cookies! lol I made them with cherry jam ‘cuz that’s all I had on hand. Gonna have to make them again tonight, the kids snarfed them up really fast!

I’m planning on making these this week for our upcoming Christmas party….and I’m just wondering how big everyone is making the balls…an inch?
mangiamangia on 12.14.2010
Hi Laura, if you haven’t made these already, I have made them twice and can tell you that the first time I made them too big, probably and inch++…the second time closer to inch or just a tad smaller and it worked out better. There were more cookies per batch too. Happy Holidays.

Thanks for the info mangiamangia! I’m going to make them now!
