This cookie turned out tasting like I hope it would. There was a cookie my mum loved when I was a kid and these tasted just like them. The taste is 5 stars, but I am giving this recipe 4 stars for a couple reasons - 1. I made the dough yesterday and refrigerated overnight and when I took it out it seemed perfect to roll...boy was I wrong, it got soft so quick! I had to add quite a bit of extra flour while rolling and 2. Sure, I've never made browned butter frosting before, but the consistency bugged me and every time I added in a little water the butter seemed to separate from the rest of the icing, so I added in a bit of extra sugar and finally got a consistency I thought was just okay. The cookies baked up perfectly but be careful when handling - they are fragile. I broke a couple! I also got more than 18 cookies from the dough and made some buttercream for the extras. The recipe using the browned butter frosting definitely tastes like the store-bought cookies I knew. The jam definitely makes this cookie. It is a good recipe and I just might make it again. I kinda wished they turned out prettier because I wanted to put them on my Christmas tray this year. Maybe the next batch will be easier. Thanks for sharing.
