Thank you so much for posting this recipe! I’ve been looking everywhere for it! There are so many versions out there that aren’t quite right. I think this one is the one my grandmother has made me for Christmas for years while I was growing up. It’s just not christmas without these cookies! All different types of jam work well in these.. apricot, strawberry, raspberry, and elderberry are my favorites.

My daughter made them for valentine’s day and shared them with me. They were wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

I made these yesterday for Jessica’s birthday. Jessica can’t eat a lot of sugar so I adjusted the recipe a bit. I used sugar-free jam and insteady of the icing I lightly sprinkled some powdered sugar over the diagonals just before I cut them. I found that rolling the portions on a lightly floured surface added enough flour to make the cookie crack just a little. I use baking mats and so I decided to roll them right on the mat instead. It worked great! Thanks for the yummy recipe…the cookies were a hit.

Please forgive my dumb question as I don’t bake very often — do I use lemon juice freshly squeezed from lemons or from a jar? Or does it matter? The look very yummy and I want to try making them!
