Cheesecake & Raspberry Jam Cookies

Hello Blogger World! I am back hopefully for a while. I got lucky today and my office closed at noon. So now I'm home relaxing and realizing that I haven't posted in so long. 

So I recently made these Cheesecake & Raspberry Jam Cookies

So I followed the recipe as best as I can. I had to modify a few things especially since it was getting late. 

Getting all my ingredients together.

Mixing it together. The dough forms pretty quickly.

I tried to roll out the dough and cut out circles but because I was working with a room temperature dough, they fell apart. Be sure to chill the dough before working with it. 

Try to cut circles. Need to cut them bigger.

I had to form dough balls and press them on top of the cupcake tin and form cookie shells.

Very golden brown!

They were delicious in my opinion. My friends don't really like the jam but my co-workers liked it. I'm going to make some without the jam and possibly give them out this holiday season.

Enjoy!
