From Exeter, California, Patsy Noel pens, "I found these cookies when my husband and I were dating. Since our last name is Noel, I whip up a batch every Christmas. They're a cinch to assemble and freeze, saving time during the holiday rush, and can be filled with other jams for a change."

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts for chocolate chips. They turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out flat and crumbly. Not sure what went wrong.
