I was surprised that someone had a bad result. I think the problem is an ingredient was missed when the recipe was submitted -- that would cause the problems another user experienced. The recipe I have is identical but includes 1/2 cup brown sugar (that's in addition to the 1/2 cup granulated sugar already listed in the ingredient list). I've made this recipe several times over the last 15 years (with the brown sugar), and it's delicious. This recipe is one of my favorite holiday cookies. The jam makes the bars/slices look festive on a cookie tray.
