Split Seconds

These are very delicious cookies, and they're really fast and easy to make! I like to substitute different jams once in a while too. I usually add 1/2 tsp. of salt as well. Anyone looking for a great addition to their holiday goody trays should try this easy one! Thanks for posting, Karen!

Maybe one of the prettiest, easiest, cheapest, as made with things you just have around cookies there is. I filled half with strawberry jam and half with blueberry. I know this recipe from one of those Pillsbury Bakeoff cookie booklets from the grocery store line. A real winner. Looks ike you bought them at a fancy bakery for almost no effort. I did them on parchement and they are easier to cool, fill and cut that way.

Nice recipe! I made this for gifts last Christmas, and was so pleased with them...I just searched through about 100 recipes just looking for THIS ONE!!! Strawberry, apricot, and mint jellies were my choices for color & presentation...tasty and very pretty! Thanks Karen!

I don't know what these are - cookies or tarts or whatever. They're delicious and so easy to make. Guess that's how the name came! I made two batches over 3 days - that's about 60 cookies each batch and it's all over!!! Thanks Karen! This one's a keeper!

Yes, these cookies are from a Pillsbury Bake-off cookbook. From the 50's. And yes, I have been baking them since then! Excellent! And easy. Janet

Had these tonight. I really enjoyed them, as did the kids and my husband... and the neighbor's kid... and my husband... ;-) Very lightly textured, and not too sweet for the jam and powdered sugar. I cooked these on parchment, so all I had to do was slide them onto the table and cut with a serrated knife while they were still very warm, so I didn't have a crumbling problem. My husband has decided they taste like a sweet scone. I filled mine with strawberry jam. Very tasty! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I love these. Great taste, easy to make. I had to make a second batch the next day for hubby to take to work! Got to love that!

My mom made these after finding the recipe in Pillsbury Family Desserts cookbook pamphlet. They are so good! She used 3 different jams - raspberry, mixed fruit, and cherry for the filling. A very nice treat for the dessert tray on Easter Sunday.

This recipe was very yummy! I used Solo cherry filling for the jelly. Next time I will make the depression almost as wide as the dough for a more filling to cookie ratio.

I had real problems with this recipe. The texture was really coarse (even the dough tasted grainy). The logs looked really nice until I cooked them. The edges of the logs spread like there was too much butter. Maybe I over mixed it?? Should I have mixed these by hand? I know my cookie munchers (aka kids) will be pleased with these but I was hoping for something special for my Xmas cookie trays.

Oh my goodness! These were absolutely wonderful. I used canned raspberry filling and it was just delicious with the buttery flavor of the cookie. After cutting diagonally into bars and sprinkling with powdered sugar, they really looked lovely. Perfect for a holiday tray, like little jewels! Also, I just used 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup) with a tbsp or so of crisco.

I think I just figured out where the name split seconds comes from...its the perfect moment when the cookie is hot enough to cut without breaking and the jam icool enough to not run. :-) Seriously, these are as simple as a bar cookie but far more elegant. For variety, I used almond extract instead of vanilla. Paired well with raspberry jam. And yes, jams work better than jellies.

These are from a Pillsbury Bake off in the 50's. Super easy and you always have the ingredients on hand. I made a batch yesterday and used a couple different kinds of jelly. Great for the holidays.

These were absolutely delicious, and very easy. The recipe says to place them 4 in apart and 2 in. from edges, which is impossible on a cookie sheet. I place them 2 in. apart and they turned out great. I did bake mine about 23 min.
