I just made these and wanted to give my two cents. Really easy to make, but I changed a few things. I took another persons advise and tripled teh reciped and used all butter. I dropped them by the spoonful instead of rolling into a ball and did not use the whites or nuts. My inpression was made with a round 1/2 tsp dipped in flour so it wouldn't stick. And lastly, I added the jelly before baking. Wonderful!!

I just made these cookies for the first time and they are delicious!! I used all butter and no shortening. They do not look quite like the picture but still yummy. I suggest tripling the recipe. Each batch makes maybe a dozen cookies
