  1. These are wonderful cookies. They are originally from 1954 Pillsbury Bake Off. In the contest they were called Split Second Cookies. The original recipe makes a larger batch. What is fun about the original recipe you are instructed to use a handle of a wooden spoon to push down on the dough ropes to make the furrow for the jam. It is a look back to baking that was being done after WWII as cooks began to have modern ovens. But after 64 years the recipe has gone through some minor changes as it was republished in cook books. It has been part of my Christmas cookie line up every year because they were part of my childhood.

      1. I have the original recipe posted on my page by it’s original name. I have run into many young people who make fun of mid twentieth century recipes on Pinterest. There was plenty of great recipes created then. Thanks .
