Excellent recipe! I've made it every year at Christmas for 2 years and they are always a huge hit! I'm stingy with the recipe though! I use strawberry preserves and orange marmalade. DELICIOUS!

These are the best cookies on Christmas morning with a cup of coffee or hot tea! These are always requested by family and friends at the holidays. I also love the snow covered almond cresents you can make with this versitile 4-in-1 cookie dough recipe.
