So easy and tasty too. I got this recipe from my mother in law years ago. I prefer them without the kisses however they are good with or without them.

These cookies were a little dry for my taste. I think I'll add a little more butter next time.

I'm not a big fan of almonds, so I used chopped walnuts instead. The cookies were still delicious!

I had some trouble finding raspberry preserves, but I used strawberry preserves instead and they turned out just fine.
