Jam Cookie

Happy National Cookie Exchange Day! Did you know, today 12/22 is the day to exchange our favorite types of cookies to taste all kinds of them!

 

Hmm, as the baking season hits in our calendar, there are so many cookie related national food holidays. As cookies are so versatile to add favorite flavor or additions like nuts, dried fruits, spices, so the day like today is when we can enjoy cookies having a heated debate of which flavor is the best(I doubt anyone can settle in for just a single answer though.)

 

So anyways, today’s my cookies are classic, very staple in your kitchen since we’re just a kid. I remember munching them while I was doing homework (well a little lie here…playing video games!) or sometimes tried eating by removing the cookie and jam part just like how people eat oreo (I bet it sounds familiar to you!)

 

Today’s my cookie is such a sweet little treat so let’s enjoy baking and munching!

<Directions>

3. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
4. Spread parchment sheet on a baking pan.

6. Press the center of the ball and prepare for the spot to put jams.

<Cooking Tips>

Transfer your jam/preserves/jelly in a small container and stir well before placing them on cookie dough. Jam/jelly/preserves that got straight from a jar are firm. You’d end up putting more than you think and see a heart breaking scene when you open the oven.

Mmm,  after baking the jam gets hard and the chewy textured jam on soft cookies is so good!

 

So who’s in for cookie exchange? And I’m dropping a big debate topic today…What’s your favorite type of cookies?
