These cookies are amazing! My mom decided to try the recipe and gave me a plate of them when I came to visit. I couldn't stop eating them! The cookie itself is so light and delicious and the raspberry preserves are the perfect compliment! I immediately got on my laptop to get the recipe and bake some myself. I am going to try almond extract as a variation too!

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
