  • Electric mixer: To ensure the dough is smooth and well-blended.
  • Baking sheet: For placing the cookies while baking.
  • Parchment paper: Prevents the cookies from sticking.
  • Cooling rack: Helps cool the cookies evenly.
  • Having all this equipment ready makes the baking process smoother.

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Cream butter and sugar until fluffy using an electric mixer.

      Notes

      Storage: Keep cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
      Variations: Try other jams like strawberry or apricot for different flavors.
      Rose Water: Use sparingly to avoid overpowering the cookies.
      Gluten-Free Option: Substitute flour with a gluten-free blend.
      These cookies are versatile and can be tweaked to fit my preferences.
      By playing around with different ingredients, I find new favorite combinations every time! 🎉
