They are a soft cookie that melts in your mouth. They are excellent with any kind of jam but chokecherry or raspberry jelly are my favorites. Beat together the shortening and butter.

After cookies are transfered in tray, leave half of the cookies just like that and to the rest of the cookie make a well in the center of each cookie using a smaller cutter.
