Try this cookies with your favorite choice of jam. Very good with strawberries, figs and peach jam!

If you don't have cookie cutters, an easy way to obtain well shaped cookies is to make small balls of dough (1/2 inch to 1 inch of diameter) and spread them down with your hands

Another easy way to obtain perfect cookies is to shape the dough as long and thick logs. Refrigerate for a while to harden the dough and then just simply cut the dough in 1/2 inch slices
