For an extra nutty flavor, toast the walnuts lightly before chopping. This will enhance their aroma and add depth to the cookies. Ensure your butter is properly softened for easy incorporation into the dough. If it's too cold, the dough may be difficult to work with. Feel free to experiment with different types of jams to create a variety of flavor combinations. Seedless jams work best for a smoother texture. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

May 21, 2025The cookies spread out a bit during baking, so make sure to leave enough space between them on the baking sheet.
