Jewel Cookies

"I copied this recipe from a magazine while getting my hair done some years ago, and I'm so glad I did -- they're one of my favorite cookies! My children help me make them on New Year's Day and we polish them off on the same day. (They only make 2 dozen so they're nice for ending a good meal.) Easy to make! I use raspberry jam; any kind would do fine."

  1. I had this recipe years ago from my McCall's Cookbook. I used to make them for our Christmas Wassail. They are having a carolling party in our subdivision and I'm going to make these to share. Thanks!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love how cooking brings people together, whether it's sharing recipes or sharing a special meal. My sister and I love to talk recipes, and she is great at researching any recipe questions and hunting down recipes. My whole family enjoys cooking, so holidays are particularly fun when we're all cooking together. I teach social studies, and I incorporate historical recipes and foods into my lessons about culture. Cooking connects the past and present. I've realized how relaxing cooking is to me, so despite being very busy with teaching, I make time to cook.
