So easy to make (not necessarily super quick, but super easy)! They taste very buttery and are easy to cut after coming out of the oven. Don't skimp on the jam!

Mine turned out flat but that didn't stop us from devouring them. Great shortbread-type flavor.

I've been making these cookies for years as my mother before me. It was a Pillsbury Bake-Off finalist from the 1950s. As most reviewers say, when you have a craving for nice cookies, this is the one to make because it goes together easily and most folks have all the necessary ingredients. If you have trouble making the logs, do it on a lightly-floured surface. For the reviewer who couldn't get the batter to set up, did you use real butter? You cannot substitute. Recipe doesn't give an alternative. I'm betting you used a

The recipe was quick, and easy, and the resulting cookie has good texture and flavor. I wish that I had made thumbprint cookies instead of the log style, just so I had a more uniform look.

So smart! I never would have thought to do this - it's basically a "thumbprint" cookie but with much less rolling involved. You could roll the logs in nuts...however you do "thumbprint." But it is faster! And it makes a nice-looking cookie. I drizzled mine w/ a milk/powdered sugar glaze.

these were very easy and fast to make, I used raspberry preserves because I did not have jam and they turned out great

They taste wonderful! The dough was hard to form into logs (too sticky). I made the 1/2 inch depression and my cookies are falling apart in the middle, spilling jam everywhere. I think next time I'll use this recipe and just make thumbprint cookies instead. Definitely worth making!

I wasn't going for presentation (just happened to have the ingredients and wanted something sweet) so I mixed the jam in with the batter. Still very yummy, of course.
