Ingredients
- 4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar , firmly packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cherry preserves
- 1/4 cup chopped blanched , slivered almonds
- 1 cup Strawberry Preserves
- 1/4 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts
Fruit filling :
- 1 cup Strawberry preserves mixed with 1/4 c walnuts , chopped
- 1 cup Cherry Jam mixed with 1/4 c. almonds, chopped
Instructions
- Sift first 3 ingredients, set aside.
- Cream butter until soft, beat in sugars gradually.
- Add eggs and vanilla, beating vigorously until light and airy.
- Add flour mixture in 3 parts, beating only until well mixed after each addition.
- Divide dough in three parts, wrap in waxed paper and then in plastic wrap.
- Chill until firm enough for rolling, about 4-5 hours; or overnight.
- Grease baking sheets or bake on parchment paper or silicone mat. Then prepare fruit fillings.
- Roll out dough between two sheets of lightly floured waxed paper, 1/8" thick. Re-flour as needed.
- We use the same cutter for top and bottom but I'll continue with original instructions.
- Original recipe specifies:
- Cut out enough 2 3/4" rounds to fill baking sheet, arrange about 1 1/2" apart.
- Put about 1 teaspoon jam filling on each round.
- Then roll and cut same number of 3" rounds, cutting hole in center with 1" cutter before placing it on the filling.
- Repeat until all dough is used.
- Bake in 375°F / 190° C oven for 12 - 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Note: During baking the smaller and amount of dough spreads just enough to meet with and seal the edges of the larger top piece. This eliminates hand pinching of the edges and makes for less handling.
- We have no problem using the same size cutter. We just gently press the edges together.
- Whichever way you choose, these are easy and delicious!
- Makes 3 dozen.

Notes
- Super easy dough to make and to roll and cut out. Very beginner friendly!
- Cookies can be kept at room temperature for a couple days.
- For longer storage, freeze up to 2 months. These cookies freeze very well!
- General Baking Tips:
- Always measure dry ingredients with a dry measuring cup. Measure with dry measuring cups or weigh dry ingredients.
- Always measure liquid ingredients with liquid measuring cup
- Never break eggs directly into recipe ingredients. Break eggs into a separate bowl, in case you get any shells, so that you can pull them out.
- Make sure that you know what temperature your oven is set at. Buy an oven thermometer and check oven temperature regularly.
- Always check baked goods, like cakes or quick breads with cake tester, placed in center. If the tester comes out clean, it’s done.
