These just might be the new favorite Christmas cookie at my house! Easy and delicious. I will double the recipe next time. I added almond extract to the glaze as suggested in other reviews, and it was delicious. I used a chopping blade to cut them while still a little warm, and did't have a problem with crumbling.

These were very simple to make. I used Smart Balance Buttery Sticks which worked well, almond extract instead of the vanilla...and raspberry preserves. I made MANY of these for a formal cocktail party. For my mass production, I created a system. After baking the rolls 4 minutes on my seasoned baking stone on parchment paper, I used the back of a butter knife to make a shallow, 1/2 " wide groove and piped in the preserves. When the preserves were bubbling a little, but the bars were JUST STARTING to brown on the edges indicating that they were browned on the bottom (10 more minutes in my oven), I transferred by sliding the parchment paper onto a cool, flat, hard cutting surface. When still warm to the touch I piped on the glaze with a #1 Wilton tip (fine) in an even zigzag pattern (BEAUTIFUL)! I used a very sharp large knife to cut through two rolls at once. Everyone was pleased with the taste and the professional looks!

made this for Christmas this year too. My 7 yr old daughter & I made them in 1 inch balls, then made thumb print in them after reading the reviews on how the bars would break. They turned out great and everyone loves them.

Everyone loved them at Christmas! I made them in circular cookie shapes. And they were the first cookies/dessert items gone. The women all asked for this recipe. Grrrreat!

Unbelievable flavor. So light and flaky, you won't get that heavy feeling in your stomach after eating SEVERAL. I made this for my hubby who likes jellied treats, but I do not. These are so good that even I can't stop eating them.

These are the most outstanding raspberry cookies EVER! I make a cookie assortment for my family members to give as holiday treats every year, and this one is a favorite! My sister keeps the ones I give to her family all to herself. LOVE them!

I have made these 5x now and have some tips. First of all I always double the batch. They go quick because they are so good! I roll 4 balls of dough and then use parchment paper to roll them into logs. I can cook 4 per tray. I use a tray with no lip so they slide off when they are warm. I do move the cooked log around a bit so it doesn't stick at all. About 2-3 minutes after they come out of the over, I cut them straight down using a big knife. I separate the cut cookies by just a bit. I wait another 10 minutes and then ice them. If you icing melts that is okay too, just drizzle some more on when they are cooler. My newest trick is to put the jam in a ziplock bag, mush it around so there are no lumps, snip the corner of the bad and the jam goes on smooth!! These are great cookies for a cookie exchange as they are beautiful and taste great too!

These are excellent, and super easy. They're going to look beautiful on the Christmas Cookie trays! One thing I found, when making the 1/2" indentation down the middle. I didn't know if this meant 1/2" wide, or 1/2" deep, so I did both. I recommend you be careful on how deep you make it. If this area doesn't have a thick enough cookie base left, it will be a weak spot in your finished cookie, which means prone to breaking. Otherwise, this is perfect the way it is.

These are some of my favorites that I like to make during the holidays. I have changed it a bit by forming them into tablespoon size cookies with a dip for the filling.

I just made these- they are sooooo good! I also substituted the evaporated milk for regular milk and the glaze is delicious. I had no trouble with crumbling when I cut the cookies. I found it easy with a sharp knife 2 minutes after they came out of the oven. I will make these again!!!!
