These cookies are a great way to use up leftover jelly. I always have a jar of jelly in my fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

I've never been a big fan of jelly cookies, but these ones changed my mind. They're so soft and chewy, and the jelly filling is the perfect amount of sweetness.
