For best results, use a high-quality fruit jam or preserves with a thick consistency to prevent excessive leakage during baking. If the dough becomes too soft while rolling, return it to the refrigerator for a few minutes to firm up. Ensure the edges of the cookies are well-sealed to prevent the filling from spilling out during baking. Using a fork to crimp the edges not only seals them but also adds a decorative touch. These cookies can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days before baking.
