"These cookies are such a hit with my family," tells Flo Burtnett of another sweet she's sharing (see her cake recipe on page 29). "A few always seem to disappear before I can finish them!" It's no wonder-Flo spreads jam on half of her spicy stars, then tops them with the rest of the batch of cookies, which have been glazed for an extra dose of goodness. "They're nice for any occasion," she says.

These cookies are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.

I had some trouble getting the dough to roll out evenly. It kept sticking to my rolling pin.
