c is for cookie

I saw this jam cookie recipe on allrecipes and I just had to make it.  Too cute.  Just perfect for singles awareness day too.  I’ve been trying to find a reason to get some cookie cutters, so maybe it was a little too convenient.  hmmmm…

So what’s my critique???  it was way too much work for the number of cookies you get.  And on top of that there was too much cookie per bite.  Flavor was spot on, but I did reduce the amount of sugar used by 1/4 cup.  I also noticed that they got pretty soft the next day and really really sticky!  I’m a crunchy cookie kind of girl, so I preferred them the day of.  If you got some time on your hands and want to make something that looks pretty fancy I totally recommend it.  It also helps if you have lots of different sized cookie cutters because it doesn’t look so monolithic when you compose it on a plate.  For next time I will try making a thinner cookie. These were 1/4″.  Definitely too thick.  3.5/5
