Jam Jam Cookies

These cookies are a special treat for Christmas or really for anytime. For flashback Friday I am bringing back my recipe for my recipe for jam jams. I like to use homemade plum jelly for the filling but raspberry jam is very good too. These cookies freeze very well.

• 3/4 cup butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup corn syrup
• 2 eggs
• Rind of a lemon, finely grated
• 3 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

1. Cream together butter, sugar and syrup, add eggs and grated lemon rind and mix well.
2. In another bowl mix dry ingredients. Stir into wet ingredients until combined.
3. Roll out dough fairly thin, approx 1/8" and cut out rounds with a 1 3/4" cookie cutter.
4. Place on pans, you can place them quite close together, they don't spread very much.
5. Bake in 375º oven for 6 minutes.
6. Cool cookies completely.
7. When cookies are cool put a tsp of jam on one cookie and top with another one.
8. Yields: approx 52 jam jams.
