Room temperature ingredients mix better – set butter and egg out 30 minutes early
Don’t overmix dough to keep cookies tender
Seal jam pockets well to prevent leaking
Chill filled cookies for 10 minutes before baking for best results
Cookies continue cooking on hot pan – don’t overbake
Use thick jam rather than runny preserves
Stick to 1 teaspoon jam maximum per cookie
