Follow along and collect some yummy new recipes to add to your collection!
Many of the bloggers are offering prizes too!
Nothing better than cookies and prizes, right?
Today, I am sharing one of the oldest recipes that is traditionally
made every Christmas in my home.
The recipe for Swedish Jam Shortbread was published
in our local newspaper back in 1987.
(Somehow that doesn't seem so long ago.)
They are easy, chewy, sweet and IF you call raspberry jam a fruit serving,
they are healthy to boot!

Every christmas we always have cinnamon and ginger hearts, I make these really small so you can have lots without feeling guilty. Another, more traditional favourite, is shortbread, everyone in England eats shortbread at Christmas time. Thank you for a fun giveaway, I already follow with Bloglovin'. x
ReplyDeleteThese sound so good and so easy to whip together. Something so less intimidating about using a box mix instead of flour. (I'm not a baker by nature). Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOur favorite Christmas cookies are called Cappuccino Flats and they come from the book BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS COOKIES FOR CHRISTMAS published in the mid-80s. It's still my favorite cookie book ever. I believe you can still find copies for sale online.
ReplyDeleteOur favorite Christmas cookie is the snickerdoodle. We can never get by with just a single batch. I follow you with bloglovin.
ReplyDeleteWe always have to have Snowball cookies (Russian teacakes). Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteOoh, these look delicious! I DO count raspberry jam as a fruit serving. HAHA I'm going to PIN your recipe so I can access it later. Happy Holidays to you and your family. ~smile~ Roseanne
Those really sound like yummy cookies, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOooh, those look yummy, thanks for justifying them with the "healthy" fruit serving :) My cookie I need every Christmas is my Grandma's Date Pinwheels...yum!
ReplyDeleteThe cookie our family insists on having every year is one I found in a 2008, December, Taste of Home Magazine. It's a Raspberry Almond Bar cookie that smells and tastes delicious and I wind up tripling the recipe, since it calls for a 9" square pan.
ReplyDeleteI must say that Christmas is not complete without a sugar cookie! Those are a mainstay in every home. Every child loves to load it up with icing and decorate with every sprinkle in the container! Thanks for sharing your cookie recipe!
ReplyDeleteWe make our favorite Norwegian cookie called Sunbakkels which is a sugar type cookie made in individual tins. rozz01(at)cox(dot)net
ReplyDeleteThe cookie that is an absolute must at our house is Cocoanut Candy Balls (this is our name for them). They are a no-bake cookie made with Graham Cracker crumbs, chocolate chips, chopped dates, nuts, vanilla, and sweetened condensed milk. They are rolled in a ball and then rolled in cocoanut. Then they are refrigerated.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention that I follow you on Bloglovin.
ReplyDeleteI try not to eat cookies, but my all time favorite from the past was Creme-de-menthe cookies because I love chocolate and mint together. Nice giveaway, thanks.
ReplyDeleteIt's not Christmas without frosted cutouts! My mother always made them, and now it's my job.
ReplyDeleteThose cookies sound really good. Thanks for the recipe. I make cheese shortbread every year. The bonus is that my husband dislikes them so they are all mine :) Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteDecorated sugar cookies are the best.
ReplyDeleteMy family has to have Sugar and Spice cookies that we've made for years. You recipe sounds wonderful and looks easy to make. Thanks for the recipe and for playing along!
ReplyDeleteWe have to have Thumbprint cookies each year. I am following w/bloglovin
ReplyDeleteThose sound fabulous and I love using cake mix. Half the work is done for me in my head then! LOL!
ReplyDeleteCute recipe card too!
I am following on Bloglovin. I love having Gingerbread cookies every year. My family loves them.
ReplyDeleteThese look wonderful! I gotta have shortbread cookies :)
ReplyDeleteSugar cookies, lots of them.
ReplyDeleteOh yes I do follow on Bloglovin.
ReplyDeleteI really MUST have pfeffernusse cookies for Christmas. Last year I couldn't find them in the store but found a recipe. I'm basically lazy and found them in the shop this year -- yay!! Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new Bloglovin' follower.
ReplyDeleteYum! Raspberry Jam is a fruit serving on my book! :-)
ReplyDeletechocolate covered oreo balls! They are wonderful!

ReplyDeleteMy family has to have gingerbread men cookies. It's a must!
ReplyDeleteIt isn't Christmas at my house without Crown Jewel Cookies, Snickerdoodles, and Russian Tea Cakes. Your cookies look yummy.
ReplyDeleteWe have a family tradition for French cookies at our house. You have to make one at a time, so they are very precious!!
ReplyDeleteI have to have Cream Cheese Spritz! I follow you on Bloglovin. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI love the old fashioned roll-out butter cookies my grandmother used to make and send me every Christmas! Thanks for the wonderful memories and for sharing your cookie recipe!
ReplyDeleteChocolate chip cookies with pecans! Thank you, Susan
ReplyDeleteJam thumbprints - just have to have some with raspberry jam filling!! mumbird3(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteYour recipe sounds delicious and is right up my alley! Start with cake mix and has almond flavor and jam and has Swedish in the title too! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFor season, I really love candy cane cookies. Think I got the original recipe from Martha Stewart book, but most recently made with cookie dough mix from Costco (it spread a little too much). It's a plain cookie dough with peppermint flavoring where I split in two and add food coloring to one half. Then just take a piece of each and roll together to make a little candy cane. Extra delicious with a brownie in the other hand and alternating bites. Thanks for the chance!
I follow you on Bloglovin! : )
ReplyDeleteMolasses spice cookies! Yum!
ReplyDeleteI'll use my homemade red raspberry jam so I know this recipe will be considered 'healthy'. lol They sound and look yummy. I started making 'Crème Parisian Wafers' when my kids were little - probably in the early 80s. They are a lot of work but - let me tell you - I've gotten into BIG trouble from the family if I don't make them. :) Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteOH, I need to try these. They look so easy to make and with raspberry jam make my mouth water. My favorite cookie is the one I shared this year - peanut butter christmas cookies, but your recipe may change my mind about my favorite.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely MUST have Buffalo Chips!!! (I think some folks call them Cowboy Cookies, but I prefer buffalo chips.)
ReplyDeleteOh, those look so tasty! Love shortbread, but I haven't seen a recipe that uses cake mix, fun! My faves include praline shortbread cookies. Yum. Thanks for the chance at your prize.
ReplyDeleteI love using my cookie press to make Spritz, the green trees and the fancy ones dipped in chocolate and sprinkles. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI make my mothers bird nest cookies which are similar to a thumbprint cookie! Thank you for the recipe and giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThose look like super yummy cookies. I don't have a must make or eat cookie at Christmas. Whatever the kids want to bake that year, is what we have. Thanks for the chance to win and the recipe.
ReplyDeleteI have a sugar cookie recipe that I've used for the last 15 years. It's from the Southern Living Magazine and its wonderful! Thank you for your recipe and giveaway.
ReplyDeletePeanut blossoms...they became the "family favorite" when my children were small. Now the grandchildren help make them too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the recipe. I don't care for raspberries but they have to be good with other jams as well.
ReplyDeleteYour Swedish Jam Shortbread looks delicious! Honey Cookies are the one cookie that I have to have at Christmas. Thanks!
ReplyDeletePlease click on the delaineelliott above for my email link.
The cookies look delicious! I can't have Christmas without those Magic Cookie Bars; you know- the ones that start with graham crackers and end with M&M's. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteI have never used cake mix in the cookie dough. These look yummy. I am going to have to try this. Thanks for sharing ... :) Pat
ReplyDeleteI'm too late for the prize, so, don't worry. We never did the 'cookie' thing growing up. I'd never even heard of a Christmas cookie exchange until I moved to Illinois. Hubby's grandmother made a shortbread style cookie (no one can find the recipe) and would make them in cookie cutter shapes. We liked those whenever she made them. Tea cookies, she called them.
ReplyDeleteThese bars look so darned good! I love almonds and raspberries, so I know I'll love these! They are on my baking list for Christmas!
