For the best flavor and texture, use high-quality fruit jam. Seedless varieties work best. The dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a festive touch, use a variety of different flavored jams. If the dough becomes too soft while working with it, return it to the refrigerator for a few minutes to firm up. Don't overbake the cookies, as they will become dry. These cookies are best enjoyed within 2-3 days of baking. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
