{twd} Buttery Jam Cookies

This weeks Tuesday with Dorie recipe was chosen by Randomosity & the Girl. It was just another reason I was thankful I joined this group of people - never in my life would I have made these cookies! Ginger? Never thought about it. I see Martha put it in cookies - but I normally fast forward that part of the show because it just sounded strange.

So I made the cookies. When I originally read the title I thought they would be the little thumbprint cookies with jelly in the center. I love those cookies! Especially the PB&J ones! They are strange.. but I could eat 2 dozen by myself.

Anyway, Im happy to say I think they turned out great. Not too sweet.. not too ginger-y.. not too apricot-ish. Im making up those words but go with me. Others said theirs turned out hard, or didnt flatten out at all, etc. so I was uber-careful with the mixer not to over mix. (just like last week) and I also made sure to bake them for the minimum amount of time. And they are super soft and kind of cake-like in the end.

Freeland also enjoyed them. I made him guess what was in it. He guessed ginger right away - but he still ate a bunch of them. I plan on taking the rest to neighbors for Christmas.

*PS - I promise I cook way more than I actually post about it. Seems this month is just busier than I realized but eventually I will start sharing all those recipes I planned on doing when I started this blog. eventually...
