1
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper

Using the handle of a wooden spoon or your finger, press a 1/2-inch-deep indentation down the middle of each log

Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F

Fill the indentations with jam

Bake, switching the position of the pans halfway through, until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes

Let cool completely on the baking sheets, then transfer the logs to a cutting board and slice crosswise into 1-inch-wide cookies
