Delicious Thumbprint Cookie Recipe: Perfect for Any Occasion

Hello There!

I am excited to share this recipe with you! Whether you need a great gift, a tasty treat for a gathering, or just to soothe your sweet tooth, these are a perfect addition to your kitchen.

Butter & Sugar

If you don’t have a stand mixer, no worries! Just use a hand mixer.

I wish you could smell the creaminess of the butter and sugar!

Oh, wait! You can when YOU make them!

Thumbprint cookies are a classic treat that many people enjoy. These cookies are soft and buttery with a small indentation in the center, perfect for filling with your favorite jam or preserve. The filling is such a sweet surprise that will make your mouth dance! One of my favorite things about these cookies is that they were one of my mom's favorites! She loved them with almost any filling, but her favorite was raspberry and apricot. In sharing this recipe with you, I am sharing a little piece of my heart! I made them many times for her and every time I make them now it is a sweet reminder of her.

The name "thumbprint" comes from the method used to create the indentation in the cookie dough. Simply press your thumb (or another small object) into the dough ball to create a shallow well.

These cookies can be made with a variety of flavors and fillings. Some popular options include raspberry, blackberry, apricot, and even chocolate.

One of the best things about thumbprint cookies is their versatility. They can be served on any occasion, from holiday gatherings to summer barbecues. They also make great gifts and can be easily packaged and decorated. I just shared some as a gift to Kyle's sister, Kim, for her birthday. I love being able to share my goodies!

Whether you're an experienced baker or just starting out, thumbprint cookies are a delicious and easy treat to make. So go ahead and give them a try!

Lord Bless You, Michelle
