Gluten-Free Jam Filled Sugar Cookies

 
My husband’s a real big fan of Christmas cookies.  It’s just the time of year when my mom makes a ton of them and I make a ton of them…and well, he eats a ton of them 😉  Yes, we make some healthy ones, but we also make some good old fashioned classics (the sugar kind).  This recipe is among his favorites and I can understand why.  It takes the classic sugar cookie and pairs it with a dab of jam, to make an extraordinary cookie.
 
 
 
I made these over the weekend and between Little A, Mr.Smith, Aunt Sara, and myself – they didn’t last very long at all.  I guess I’ll have to make another batch for Santa 😉  Hope you’re having a great week and a lovely holiday season thus far!
