I made these for Christmas and they were a big hit. Everyone asked for the recipe and they vanished from the plate. Thanks for the yummy recipe!

I've made these several times and every time they are wonderful and everyone loves them. I don't alter the recipe except we use jams other than raspberry. I initially found this recipe due to a family members egg allergy but now I just make them because they're wonderful.

I followed the recipe except followed recommendations of others (for example I used butter straight from the refrig and didnt soften it, and also I put the dough in freezer before and after shaping into cookies). I didnt have any problem with cookies flattening at all. My problem only is that no one though cookies tasted good. I think I would take someone elses advice and use vanilla flavoring instead of almond...or find another recipe. Sorry....

Simple and delicious! First attempt, cookies came out flat. Second attempt I rolled the cookies into the 1/2 inch balls which worked beautifully! Allow the cookies to cool completely before drizzling the icing. MMMM MMMM Good!

Yum! Easy to mix up and hard to put down! I do not possess great baking prowess, but I followed some of the hints from previous reviews and these were a big hit! Kept the balls small, used a lip-balm lid to make jam wells, chilled prior to baking, and was careful not to over-bake them, removing them from the oven when the edges barely began to brown. The only disappointment was that I ran out of ingredients and couldn't make a 3rd batch!

Very good! Mine flattened more than the ones in the pics, but still tasted very good. I am glad I added the glaze, as they look prettier and add a great taste to the cookie! Quite good!!
