When it comes to desserts, cookies happen to be my first choice if I am going to be doing any baking! They are just so easy to throw together and bake up.
When I made these Italian Butter Cookies for you guys over the holiday season, let me just say, you loved them!
I never knew that they would be such a hit, but I can totally understand why
They were a huge hit in my house, especially with my hubby who is Italian. So, when I was thinking about making another batch of these cookies, I started thinking about other cookies that can be found in Italian bakeries.
A cookie with jam came to mind. You will find lots of cookies with different flavors such as apricot, peach, strawberry and raspberry.
Never fear you will always find chocolate as well!
Is it easy to make these cookies? Now that Iโve made them a few times they have definitely gotten easier.
A few more tips to consider:
For one, it is super important that your butter is really soft. Not melted but close. This helps when you are piping the cookies onto your sheet pan.
Secondly, make sure your egg is also at room temperature. This helps to make sure all of your ingredients are the same temperature.
What type of tip to use to pipe?
When it comes to piping them, I always use a Wilton 1M, rose swirl tip. It is pretty much the only tip I use, and I own about three of them.
It just makes the prettiest swirls ever! Do you need to use a tip? No, you actually do not.
I made little button cookies with this dough as well and they came out so cute!
What kind of jam do I use?
When it comes to jam, I pretty much just used whatever we had at the house but my preferred was seedless raspberry jam.
I definitely did not want any seeds in the center of my cookies. Also, strawberry jam is so good in these cookies as well.
For the cooking time, you will need to watch your oven once it hits 8 minutes.
The edges can brown pretty quickly so watch them closely!

These cookies.look absolutely fantastic bit trying to view this recipe on my phone is hard die to all the pop up ads. I understand bloggers want to monetize, but it’s comes at a terrible user experience. I’ll come back via a PC in hopes of it being better. Please consider removing some of them for a better experience. Thanks.
Nancy P.
Thank you for your feedback Tracy!
Teresa
Can the recipe be doubled or is it better to make in small batches? Thanks.
Nancy Piran
Hi Teresa! The dough is more manageable in small batches! Enjoy!
Vale
Great treat with my coffee!
Nancy P.
Yes it is! ๐
Caroline
I had an impossible time piping these however I just made small scoops, lightly flattened and then did the jam in a tiny well. They are delicious and buttery! Will definitely make again!
Nancy P.
Hi Caroline, yes the piping can be somewhat difficult but they turn out so pretty in the end! I will try to work the recipe to see if there is anyway around the dough being so stiff! Thank you!
Charlene
I also had a very hard piping I could not very disappointed because they look so pretty
Dkdga
Made them they did not keep shaping in oven?
Nancy Piran
Hi Dkdga! Make sure you put them on cold pans and not a hot pan. Also the dough has to be somewhat stiff in order to make sure they donโt spread so you might need to refrigerate it. Also make sure your butter is just softened this helps old the shape.
michelle y perry
if you don’t have a pastry bag can you use a cake decorating kit to make the shaped cookies?
Nancy Piran
Without knowing what cake decorating kit you have, you pretty much can use any type of piping bag. Hope that helps!
Pat
What tip did you use to pipe these cookies?
Nancy Piran
Hi Pat! 1M.
Lynn Hitze
You cannot pipe these cookies. If you want a drop cookie then your fine.
Nancy Piran
Hi Lynn! It takes a little bit of arm strength but I can attest that you can pipe these cookies. I piped a bunch of them making this recipe and photographing it.
Sherrell
I made 2 separate batches and they both spread out flat. I could not get them to stay up. What did I do wrong???
Nancy Piran
Hi Sherrell! Sorry to hear you had trouble with the cookies. Make sure you put them on cold pans and not a hot pan. Also the dough has to be somewhat stiff in order to make sure they don’t spread so you might need to refrigerate it. Also make sure your butter is just softened this helps hold the shape.
Shelley A Hinatsu
Can you pipe then put in fridge for awhile so they don’t spread?
Nancy Piran
Hi Shelley! You could try that, but I’ve never had a problem with them spreading.
Lucy
Can I use strawberry preserves instead of jam?
Nancy Piran
Hi Lucy! Sure you could use that! Enjoy!
Connie
I just tried these out. Iโve never piped cookies before. A little bit of a workout but not hard. So easy to pipe both items, they are so fancy looking and taste amazing! Thanks for the recipe, itโs a keeper!
