Place them on an ungreased cookie sheet
(the cookies don't grow when baked, 
so they can be somewhat close together).
Then press your thumb into each to flatten it and make an indentation to
hold some jam. Fill it with jam.

.PP
You can use any flavor jam you like.
The jam is the only part of the cookie that has any texture,
so I prefer using it to jelly.
.PP
Don't eat the cookies straight from the oven, 
or you'll probably burn your tongue.
The jam stays hotter much longer than the cookie.
.SH RATING
.I Difficulty:
easy, but strenuous if made by hand.
.I Time:
20 minutes preparation, 15\-20 minutes baking.
.I Precision:
Measure the ingredients.
