Jam Cookies

Olive oil sugar cookies marbled with your favorite fruit jams.

Hi Bakers!

Even though it’s still properly hot outside, I can feel summer starting to wind down. The sun sets before 9pm instead of closer to 10:30 and I noticed the first leaves turning yellow and orange. But don’t be fooled, there is plenty of summer left to squeeze out - especially with late summer produce. 

I used to be so eager to jump into fall baking, but the not-quite-ripe figs and green strawberries in my garden have me holding on to every last little bit of summer. I’m savoring every nectarine, juicy tomato, and sweet corn that I can get my hands on. 

No matter where you are in the season, this recipe is perfect for preserving a piece of summer. I’ve swirled some of my favorite fruit jams into a tender olive oil cookie that is full of flavor and forever customizable. Marbled with fruit and sweetened with herb and spice-infused sugar, the cookies are soft and chewy, with slightly caramelized edges from the jam.
