These turned out to be quite fruity, with a nice crunchiness to the crust. When I patted half of the dough on the pan bottom, I had to work to get it to cover, and was afraid I would wish I had made more, but after baking, I feel it came out just right. I made half with marmalade and the other half with another jelly, since my kids are not fans of marmalade. Both were tasty. Good recipe.

This is my favorite cookie recipe I have found on this site. The spice is just right, not too subtle, not too strong. They are wonderfully soft. I have, however, made one change. I use one teaspoon baking soda instead of two. I thought the soda taste was too obvious, and when I halved the amount they turned out perfect. I also found that if I just slightly softened the margarine instead of fully melting it I was able to skip the chill time.

Good simple recipe. It cooks up as apple slices in a creamy sauce that takes on a nice apple flavor.
