UPDATE 2022: This post has, by far, been the most popular of this mildly abandoned blog. As of December 2022 these cookies don’t seem to be manufactured by anyone anymore. There are thumbprint cookies, but nothing like these. So, there’s your update. -Jake.
These were my favorite cookies growing up. My dad loved them too. Then they disappeared from supermarket shelves. I used to be able to get them at a farm market not far from the house. But then they stopped carrying them.
A simple butter cookie with a hardened and sticky raspberry jelly top. These are not to be confused with the cookies from the eastern European Jewish tradition that are filled or topped with a jam-like jelly. No, these are totally artificially wonderful.
They get stuck in your teeth, they are dry enough that they require milk and you can easily eat half a package of them without noticing. They are fab.
If you find them somewhere, let me know.
