These are so very simple to make and not overly sweet but very festive looking. Kids love to help make these because they can choose between a variety of sprinkles. I love to package these up and give as gifts!

I'm not a huge fan of pecans, but I loved these cookies. The jam filling balances out the flavor of the pecans perfectly.
