This week’s TWD recipe, Buttery Jam Cookies, was chosen by Heather of Randomosity and the Girl. On her blog post today, she said she picked the recipe because it was quick, easy and had some of her favorite ingredients. Thanks, Heather, for picking something that we could all enjoy during the holidays without too much trouble! I took these to a holiday party last night to share with a few friends. (I’m sure the party pictures will be up soon over at AWMB!)

A lot of TWDers said that the cookies didn’t spread, but mine spread quite nicely. I liked the buttery taste of the cookies and the biscuit-like consistency. I omitted the ginger in the recipe, simply because I didn’t have any. I also used the apricot jam that Dorie suggested, and did minimal mixing- I think that helped them to spread out.

Out of the three December TWD cookie recipes, this is my second favorite. I liked the sugar cookies best, and the linzers were a hit, but not my personal favorite. These fall somewhere in between. I’m sure there will be plenty more holiday treats to come!
