I copied this recipe from my dear Grandma’s recipe box when I was a teenager.
This recipe reminds me of precious times with my Grandma. But it’s also just downright tasty. Take a buttery shortbread cookie and fill it with your favorite jam or jelly. Delish. I don’t care for the storebought cookies like this – the filling tastes fake. But these? I could take care of a dozen.
After mixing and shaping the dough into a flattened log, use a knife to make an indent down the length of the log.
Fill it with your favorite jam or jelly:
Bake for ~15 minutes and then devour.
And yes, I was speaking literally when I used the word “devour.”
Here’s the handy printable!
