These are delicious. I didn’t drizzle with glaze this time but will try it next time. I made them with fig, blueberry, and raspberry jams. Hard to have just one.

In reply to Ash. Any good quality preserves would work. Bonne Maman is a good brand. I'd say kind of in between? Soft in the center with crisper edges.

I’ve made about 10 batches since discovering this recipe a few weeks ago. I. Am. Obsessed. Thank you so much for these deliciously simple cookies!!!

I just made these cookies and am enjoying them with a cup of tea right now. The taste of the shortbread itself is great but I don’t like the taste of the preserves I used. Do you have any recommendations of what brand to use? Also, are the cookies supposed to be soft or hard? Mine came out soft.

Hi Jill,
Wow! I am shocked to hear that your grandma and I have the same recipe (aside from her secret ingredient, of course). This recipe is actually a family recipe of mine as well. My families recipe doesn’t actually have glaze either. Tweaked it to my own liking just a bit. Grape jam, really? I’ve never tried it with these cookies. Will give it a try with my next batch. Thanks! 🙂

My grandma gave me the recipe for her cookies, that I treasured, when I was 12. That was 40 years ago. With my recipe locked up in storage, I had to call my cousin to get the recipe again. Boy, was I surprised grandma left out her secret ingredient in the recipe she sent me. According to my cousin ( and verified by my sister), my grandma put a thimble of Kentucky Bourbon in her dough.
Other than that, your dough recipe is the same. But instead of glazing, grandma sifted powdered sugar over the cookies when they were still warm. Oh, how I treasured her cookies. I used to beg her a couple times a day to let me eat one. Needless to say, I don’t make these often – I would eat way too many! I’ve tried all the jams you mentioned, but grape is still my absolute favorite.
