Apricot Jam and Walnut Cookies
Did you ever make cookies using jam in the recipe? If you didn't you should definitely try, they turn out to be amazingly delicious. My idea was to reduce the amount of sugar and replace it with jam and also bring a plus of flavor. I was afraid that they won't bake right but the result as a matter of look and taste is a delicious success. .
