This recipe is great. It is so easy and fast to make. I made it using cherries in the middle, jam in the middle and chopped pecans in the middle. The cookies disappear quickly. The only changes I made to the recipe was to use granulated instead of brown sugar and to increase the vanilla to 1 teaspoonful. It also helps if the butter is at room temperature and very soft. Another thing I did with this recipe was to save the egg white and use it as an adhesive for the nuts I used in the centers of the cookies. I whisked the egg white, made an indentation in the center of each cookie using the handle of a wooden spoon and then brushed the egg white in the center and added the chopped pecans. The first time I used nuts in the centers, I didn't use the egg white and the nuts didn't stick nearly as well. The possibilities are many with this yummy cookie recipe.

These are great.. next time I'll use white sugar instead of brown though...

These were great! I made them with strawberry jam in the center for a Christmas party and everyone loved them. I'd say that other reviewer either flubbed an ingredient or needs to check his/her oven calibration.

This recipe is absolutely delicious. I made it once with raspberry jam in the middle, and once with strawberry jam... sooooo good, they were gone in less than an hour.. and my husband is generally not a cookie person. Yum!

These are okay. Definitely way too long for cooking - I had to do it for 10 minutes only. The cookies are crunchy.
