Buttery Mango Jam Cookies (Tuesdays with Dorie)

Buttery Mango Jam Cookies
Buttery Mango Jam Cookies

For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Heather of Randomosity and the Girl chose Buttery Jam Cookies on page 80 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.

Buttery Mango Jam Cookies
These cookies aren't going to be on People Magazine's Sexiest Cookies Alive issue ...they look kinda plain and I had to toss some powdered sugar on them so they didn't look so anemic. However, they really grow on you and they are a nice, delicate treat.

Buttery Mango Jam Cookies
I made mine with Mango Jam from Cost Plus World Market (I have always loved that store...you can find lots of fun stuff)

Buttery Mango Jam Cookies
With a little mango jam and ginger, these buttery cookies are a nice treat!

Be sure to check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers and see what other jams they used!

    ta photo les mets en valeur car c'est vrai qu'il fallait un peu d'imagination pour les rendre "présentable " :)

    So pretty - love the powdered sugar dusting on top. I guess they do look sort of anemic, don't they? But tasty, which is what counts!

    Woah! I mean the cookies look great, but c'mon, the top pic uneven bowl is to die for! You've really succeeded into making plain looking cookies, amazing.

    Yum. . . . mango and powdered sugar. I bet that made them tasty. I actually sprinkled a little green and red sugar on the top of a few of mine, but I couldn't really tell any difference in the taste. Yours look great!

    The mango jam sounds great, and the powdered sugar totally beautifies these otherwise plain jane cookies. I love World Market too -- I need to start looking for mango jam there!

    Mine were kinda plain and bland. It went to hub's office in a ziplock bag. I like how you sexed it up with powdered sugar.

    That little bit of powdered sugar on top of the cookies really makes them look prettier!! I should try that once they've been defrosted and they are on the cookie plates for Christmas.

    They look great, dressed up for Christmas with a little powdered sugar.

    I love World Market too... it's a good thing for my wallet they aren't close by.
