Noel Cookie Gems image

From Exeter, California, Patsy Noel pens, "I found these cookies when my husband and I were dating. Since our last name is Noel, I whip up a batch every Christmas. They're a cinch to assemble and freeze, saving time during the holiday rush, and can be filled with other jams for a change."

These cookies are way too expensive to make. I can buy a whole box of cookies at the store for less money.

The cookies were a bit dry. I think I overbaked them.

I had a hard time finding some of the ingredients for this recipe. I had to go to three different stores to find everything.

These cookies are delicious, but they're a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.
