Ruby Jewel Cookies

These delicious, buttery shortbread cookies are easy to make and favorite Christmas Holiday cookies. I think, the name "Ruby Jewel Cookies" are completely justified by their looks and in taste too! You have to try these to believe me! The sweet and slightly tart raspberry or blueberry jam compliments the butter cookie wonderfully and the mini shapes look so cute.

Kids love these cute mini cookies for sweet jam toppings and cute mini cupcake shapes.

I have used mini cupcake liners to bake these buttery delights but you can also bake these cookies directly on cookie sheet. For precision in size, just make equal size of dough balls.

You can top these cookies with variety of jams or jellies. For some fun and variation, I used blueberry, pineapple and raspberry jam. Few of favorite jams of my family. :)

Happy Baking!

Enjoy!
