A cookie that my Mom made every Christmas. It's very festive on cookie trays and so delicious that we have it year round. In the summer I use homemade strawberry jam from fresh picked strawberries. You can use any jam you like. Change up the nuts or leave them out and use any extract to complement your chosen flavor!

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.
