Tuesdays With Dorie: Buttery Jam Cookies
This week’s TWD recipe was for cookies again, and again I was less than impressed. I didn’t even eat much of the dough, and for me, that’s saying something.
I used all-fruit cherry jam, and the cherry flavor came through nicely. The cookies were kind of bland anyway, although one girl at the party I took them to called them “really yummy.”
I think they’d be good with tea or coffee, or something. I just don’t know what.
Family agreed.
Oh, and I forgot my camera, so a tip of the hat to guest photographer Bob.
Sorry I can’t do better this week. Check out all the other TWD bloggers to see how they liked them, and get the recipe to try it yourself at Randomosity and the Girl.

I just loved these cookies.
I used strawberry jam.

They’re wonderful with tea, I had to say. Love the little bits of fruit poking out, even if you weren’t wow-ed.

I used blackberry jam and they worked great but the orange marmalade I used was not sweet enough and a lot like how you felt about your cookies!

Oh, I love the thought of cherry and buttery cookies…we loved them, and I am pretty sure we are going to love trying that combination. Yours look wonderful!

I’d probably wind up eating the cherry jam by itself. Yum.

I wasn’t to impressed with these cookies either. They were easy to make and bake but the taste just wasnt there for me.
Your cookies look pretty though:)

But they look really yummy!!! I didn’t get to make them, and since some hate and some love, not sure if I will.

I tried them with cherry jam and Pumpkin Pie Spice (in place of the ginger that went with the apricot jam) and found them delightfully biscuit-like. Better luck next time – I love when you list your family’s responses!
