Very good! I made some with the cherry preserves and some with raspberry-- the raspberry is much better and far more popular!

These are pure heaven! If you haven't tried an Italian cookie recipe, this is the one to try! The cookies are so light, buttery, and divine! The only thing different is add 1/4 tsp. of anise extract instead of almond. It was perfect! I baked some extra to take to the guys at work!:)))

I made these as circles and they baked up better looking than they were raw. I used Nutella instead of jam. Next time I'll roll the dough thinner as there seemed a lot more cookie than filling and I didn't get that many cookies from 1 batch.

Okay. I'm rating this recipe a 5 because anyone who tasted them even without knowing how much work went into them, gave them 5 stars. I made them for an Italian themed espresso and cookie night when some friends from where I lived in Padova, Italy were coming to the states to visit. They definately passed as "Italian" and everyone loved how they tasted. I was frustrated with how long they took to make and the fact that the dough was impossible to work with after being out of the fridge for even 5 minutes. I had to keep popping it in the freezer to make it cold enough to be workable. This added to the time-consuming aspect of the recipe. I am going to try it again for a gallery opening event I'm going to tomorrow night, but this time I'll take the advice of other reviewers and make the cuts after the two sheets are layed on top of one another with the filling already in between. Hopefully this will cut down the time and frustration and not take away from the pleasing taste!

These cookies are delicious. You cannot omit the lemon. That's what makes them delicious. Well, that and the butteryness of them. I did leave out the almond extract, though I can't imagine them possibly being any better with it. And I used raspberry preserves, and mmmm mmmm mmmm. The reason I docked this recipe one star was for the amount of time it takes to make these. Make sure you set aside a couple hours.

These were so good! Very time consuming though. My cookies didn't look anything like the picture! They were very good though. I think next time i won't do all of the cutting of the squares and all that...I will just bake them like regular cookies and then put the preserves in the middle of the cookie. Overall, a good recipe!

Excellent taste, perfect blend of flavors. Best filled cookie I've ever made. Didn't change a thing, maybe next time I'll try filling with figs and almonds. The cookie part is perfect. I will be making these cookies often.

These cookies are excellent. I made 3 batches during the holidays and everyone loved them. I used a round cookie cutter so they looked more like little tarts than ravioli's.

This is a very tasty cookie! I would have only given it 4 stars, but on a whim i added a drizzle of white and semi-sweet chocolate, it really made these cookies "pop" with the cherry perserves. They look great and are super Yummy!

WOW! These are awesome! They are a little more time-consuming than simple drop cookies, but well worth every bit if effort. I took these to a potluck dinner party and every single one was eaten. Luckily, I had stashed a couple back at my house, and I loved them even more the next day! Thank you for a wonderful recipe! I will definitely be making these again.

These cookies were incredible - adorable looking and a wonderful flavor! As mentioned by other reviewers, they are time-consuming to make, but they are great when you really need to impress. I took them to a party, and they were the number one favorite! I made the cookies 2" rather than 1-1/2" and used 1/2 t. cherry jelly on each, which seemed to work well. I was afraid the jelly would seep into the cookie and "disappear" from the middle, but it held its form nicely.

Time consuming, but so fabulous! HUGE HIT!

These cookies are very good but the dough was a little hard to work with. Even after leaving in the fridge it was just so soft that it kept tearing. Even so, I would make them again if I had time on my hands... thanks for the great recipe Justin!!

These were good, but very time consuming to make. I would probably not make these specific cookies again, however the dough is delicious and I will use that for other cookie recipes.

Great! Very difficult to form, though. I made the squares a little bit bigger than suggested and it worked out terrifically.

Way too much work for what you get, but if you have plenty of time to spare, go for it. Used strawberry perserves, and the cookies reminded me of mini Pop Tarts. Tasty, cute, just too much work for me. Advice: When you cut the squares in the dough, cut them with one dough square on top of the other, so all cut squares are evenly matched with a top and bottom piece.

A little time consuming, but the final product is really cute and tasty. Thanks for the recipe!
