Jelly Tarts
When we were little my Grandmother used to bring us jelly tart cookies from a bakery near her home. The bakery has since closed down. After trying several recipes, these cookies are pretty close to what Grandma used to get for us.
My younger brother particularly likes these and asks me to make them for him every Christmas.
