When I have used jam on cookies, like Thumbprints, I have found the jam to be 'runny' and, inevitably, make it to the front of my blouse with the first bite! Rather than wear a bib, perhaps you can suggest a type of jam, or method that will create the consistency needed to stay in place. The jam in your photos look like they have set firmer and look so beautifully enticing.
Hi there,
That's a great idea, I'll try to remember in future. The jams that I used for these were a store brand orange marmalade and a national brand Sugar Free strawberry. Marmalades tend to be a bit on the thicker side anyway. Solo also makes very nice canned fillings that are thicker than regular jams, you can find them in the baking aisle. ~ MaryJane
