The women in our family get together and bake Christmas cookies every year. I am always asked to make these, partially because they are so good and partially because the think my thumbs are oddly shaped and perfect to make these cookies. I of course do NOT think I have odd thumbs!

Mix together everything but the jam or jelly. Chill until firm.
