TWD- Buttery Jam Cookies



This week's recipe was chosen by Heather of Randomosity and the Girl. Visit her blog for the recipe or turn to page 80 of Dorie's wonderful cookbook. I stayed true to the recipe on this one, using thick apricot jam that we made this summer and ground ginger. I made these a little smaller than Dorie suggested, because I was taking them to a get-together and I got about 80 of them. These were really simple and very good. Nothing special to look at, but they did have a little bite to them, thanks to the ginger. These would be a great addition to a holiday goodie plate. Check out the TWD Blogroll to see what the other bakers did with this cookie!

    I didn't like mine so well. I'm glad to hear that someone else did though! Good idea to make them bite sized.

    These were so great.

    I fiddled with them a bit to pull some more flavor out of them.

    Simple and tasty is a good way to go, and I loved how little they were. But 80 - wow!

    I think ginger sounds like a great addition. Mine seemed to need a little extra something. But I agree that bite-sized was the way to go!! I'm glad that you enjoyed them, Mare!

    Your cookies look fabulous. I thought they were really great. I appreciated that they weren't overly sweet. Next time I will try the bite size ones.

    We thought these were great also - and they were real crowd pleasers. I'll bet they tasted fantastic with the apricot jam - homemade no less!!!
