This is actually a German recipe. The cookies are really good. And, if you don't want to use vanilla extract you can use peppermint in its place. Very delicious! The peppermint extract in addition to a strawberry jelly is very good.

Simple & delicious! I used cherry jam for the filling and the cookies turned out perfect.

I found this recipe while searching for a recipe that used mint jelly and we love it! These cookies are easy to make and taste yummy. I used a cookie scoop instead of making balls and I got the same number of cookies. Also, I used crabapple jelly instead of raspberry jam. I think any red jam or jelly would work fine.
