This recipe was amazing. The combination of the brown butter, vanilla, sugar, and just a little bit of jam takes me right back to the jam cookies of my childhood. I just tried it as a thank you gift to my preceptors (I am in nurse-midwifery school). I can't wait to make these again for myself!

I have made these twice. Once, I put a lemon sugar glaze as the filling. The second time, I did some with lemon glaze, some with Nutella, and some with chocolate filling. The lemon glaze is by FAR the most popular. I don’t like jam, which is why I tried the lemon.

I made these for the first time the other day, using melted chocolate instead of jam and brought them to a committee meeting. They were devoured within minutes and I had two friends arguing over who could have the privalege of marrying me. Molly these are fantastic. Time consuming, but well worth it!

oh, this is the first time i’ve tried one of your baking recipes, molly, and it was SO good! my coworkers have been giving me that wide-eyed frantic “give-me-recipe” look after the first bite.i found that baking to a warm golden brown gave my cookie a couple more points for flavor. I’m definitely using a variety of jams next time. Or maybe this cookie is just a delicious excuse to go jam collecting…

Molly, thank you for reading my mind – I was thinking about that article not two weeks ago (is it really from years ago?). I loved the author’s description of the cookie and how special they were to her. I’m so happy to have the recipe again and will make them this time – thank you!

Hey Molly (and Beth)I had the same problem as Beth with these cookies. They are so delicate that I am unable to pick them up without them falling apart. I followed recipe closely and everything seemed to work perfectly until the end. Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas? It seems like such a great idea. Thanks!
