Flower Jam Cookies have been a Christmas tradition in my family for decades. This holiday season, I am living in Seattle while my belongings are stored in Colorado. Nevertheless, I endeavored to bake cookies. I shopped for groceries and assembled the ingredients, then realized I had no recipe (my piano keyboard took precedence over the cookbooks when I packed my Subaru). Not wanting to experience failure, I called my mother and said, “I know the ingredients, I just don’t know the amounts. Three cups of flour, but how much sugar and shortening?” Mom was happy to assist since the recipe came from her in the first place. Afterwards I had a laugh on myself. I actually have the recipe with me -no less than six copies at present. The recipe for Flower Jam Cookies is found in the recipe section of The Pancake Cat. Have you finished your holiday baking? Need a good recipe?
