I tried this with strawberry jam instead of cherries. It was "good" according to my sister. They looked very pretty.

Easy and a great cookie to pack and give as gifts. I chopped pecens up and added to the dough.

I just made these with pineapple apricot jam and lemon extract, and they were very popular with the whole family...along with the "tropical flavor" they tasted like a heartier short bread.
