Yippee! It’s the weekend so I decided to treat my guys to a little something sweet. A couple of weeks ago I made homemade strawberry jam and still had a little in the fridge. I started thinking of all the different ways I could use it and settled on cookies. Most of us think of jam cookies around Christmas time, but they are so stinking good, I just had to make a batch. I added a little twist with the lemon glaze and WOW, what a great combination of flavor! These cookies are buttery, light and go quickly so you better make a double batch…
