I am not a member of this baking group, but after trying this recipe I may decide to join when they start accepting new members!<\/p>\n<p>I only made slight changes to this recipe. \u00a0I drizzled some glaze on the cooled cookies and added sliced almonds to half of the batter. \u00a0I would consider pecans next time. \u00a0When I mixed in the jam it just didn&#8217;t look like quite enough, so I added a little more. \u00a0I ended up mixing blueberry jam with a little strawberry rhubarb and the combination was nice. \u00a0You really can use any kind or combination of jam, so this is a truly versatile recipe that you can adapt to your personal taste.<\/p>\n<p>These would be perfect with an afternoon cup of coffee or tea, and I even think you could pull off eating them for breakfast. \u00a0Enjoy!<\/p>\n<h6>Buttery Jam Cookies<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/jamcookie1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-4370\" title=\"jamcookie1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/jamcookie1.jpg?resize=300%2C272\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/jamcookie1.jpg?w=300 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/jamcookie1.jpg?resize=150%2C136 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/h6>\n<p>Adapted from Dorie Greenspan<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients<\/p>\n<p>Cookies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 cups all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. baking powder<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 tsp. ground ginger<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 tsp. ground cinnamon<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 tsp. salt<\/li>\n<li>8 tbsp.
