The only trouble is making enough. You need to at least double or triple to get enough cookie tops and bottoms. You also need a very small cutter to cut into the top. I topped mine with powdered sugar for a holiday effect. The orange makes this cookie!

This recipe is very vague about how to assemble the cookies. When you make them, be sure to spread the jam almost to the edges of the bottom cookie, as it tastes funny without the jam. Also, make sure to press the edges a bit to keep the jam inside. I also had to cook these for about 15 minutes, not 7-10. These cookies are much chewier than I think they should be; maybe they will be better after they sit a day or two.
