This is my first time using jam in a cookie recipe. I was pleasantly surprised at the taste of the jam, as these cookies were not overly sweet. I added chopped dried apricots to the mixture and it just added more flavour. They were a hit with my family, so this will be a recipe I will bake regularly.
