Prepare cream mixture: In a medium bowl, cream together the crisco, cream cheese, and milk until well blended.

Add sugar and preserves: Beat in the brown sugar until fully incorporated, then mix in 1/2 cup of your chosen preserves.

Form cookies: Drop 2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet to form each cookie. Make sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each mound of dough.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 14 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden brown.

Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 1 minute, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
