I don't have corn syrup. Is there anything else I could use in place of it?

Honey, maple syrup or 1 cup of fine sugar mixed with 1/4 hot water all work well.

My aunt used to make these. What she would do once they were cooled and assembled, was seal them in a container for a day or so. This would allow the jam to really swap into the cookie and make for a really nice soft, slightly chewy cookie.

When my grandmother was still alive she made jam jams every week and they were very good I loved her jam jams very much.
