I was inspired by a recipe on Bob’s Red Mill flour package (see, someone DOES make those!). I changed it so Alistaire could eat them, doubled the recipe and used a different jam – but in the end it was an amazing cookie that the boys can’t stay out of. These cookies are crisp, buttery and well, even the dough is hard to stay out of!
