Jam-Filled Wreaths & Hearts image

I make these beautiful wreath-shaped cookies with jewel-red centers every Christmas. The dusting of powdered sugar gives them a snowy look. My mother cut the recipe out of a newspaper some 30 years ago. -Monica Wilson, Pomona, New York

These were cute, but I found them to be a bit dry. Maybe I should have used a different type of jam.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my wreaths and hearts didn't turn out very well. They were still tasty, but they didn't look as pretty as the ones in the pictures.

I had a hard time getting the dough to roll out evenly. Maybe I needed to chill it longer?
