Ever wanted to try a totally new ingredient?
Jam bits are a new thing that I have never tried before.
These cookies are unique: they have no eggs! Also, they are light and fluffy, despite being thin.
In honor of the jam bits, I thought of “C Jam Blues” played by The Dave Brubeck Quartet. It’s a wonderful song, so take a listen!

- Slide the parchment paper onto a cooling rack so the cookies do not continue to cook on the hot baking sheet.
