Final Notes for the Plum Jam Crescent Cookies Recipe

➡️ Jam crescent cookies belong to the most popular homemade cake recipes in wintertime and especially during Christmas. Basically, everyone loves jam cookies because they are very tasty and keep a lot of time without altering them.


➡️ Housewives will especially appreciate it because this jam cake recipe is very cheap – pork lard used for dough is much more affordable than butter (at least, in some countries!). However, those who don’t use pork lard can replace it with unsalted fat butter!


➡️ Beyond the fact that they are delicious and inexpensive, making crescent cookies with pork lard is very easy. Even people without significant experience in preparing homemade cakes can use this jam cookies recipe without a high risk of mistakes.


➡️ There are not many tips to share regarding this plum jam crescent cookies recipe. Maybe the most important advice is to use very cold water and lard, otherwise, the dough becomes sticky.


➡️ Another important tip is to use plum marmalade or more consistent plum jam if not, there is a risk that the filling will run from jam cookies out.


➡️ The classic jam cake recipe is with plum marmalade, but any other kind of consistent jam can be used, as desired. My family really likes apricot jam, so I often make crescent cookies filled with this kind of sweetness.


➡️ Although crescent cookies can be served immediately after cooling, the secret of these jam cookies, known only by very experienced housewives, is to serve them after a couple of days.


➡️ Store jam cookies in a dry tightly sealed box and you’ll notice after a few days that they become extremely frail! Now, the taste of the cookies is so good that you will hardly stop eating them! For sure, your family and guests will appreciate their taste and your effort to make them!


➡️ Possible to sound amazing to you, but the longer they stay, the more fragile they become, so you can keep these jam cookies even for a few weeks under the conditions mentioned above!


➡️ I recommend you try apricot jam crescent cookies as well. This jam cookies recipe is also very tasty!
