What's your favorite family tradition?

Reminds me of my mom & Christmas
Here’s one of our family traditions, cookies that my mom & I would make mainly for Christmas. It’s made with homemade dough and set in the frig at least overnight. BUT the filling we use is what makes this special. It’s called Prune Butter or Lekvar and when I was a child this “special” filling was only available at the import store. You can use other fillings such as nut, poppy seed, or even other jams, but do not use one that is too thin or it will ooze out while baking. Here’s how our cookies look when done.
 
Happy Baking,
