Thumbprint Cookies

Recipe #300836 | 33 min | 15 min prep | 12 -18 cookies (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: thegourmetgirl

As a kid, our next door neighbors would make these cookies at Christmastime. After I grew up and moved out....I always longed for these yummy cookies and asked my neighbor for the coveted recipe. It wasn't until 20 years later, when I was getting married that I finally got this recipe for Thumbprint Cookies. (I wanted the recipe so much that I told Mrs. B to give me the recipe for our wedding gift!)
