1 Review of Walnut Thumbprints

Even after refrigerating the dough for 30+ minutes, my dough always seems to be awfully sticky. I keep a small bowl of water nearby to slightly wet my hands when rolling the dough. These cookies spread when cooking so it's important to make them 1" as directed in the recipe. I use the bottom end of our ice cream scooper to make the indentation into the dough (after trying with a wooden spoon, I like the bigger size that the ice cream scooper makes - easier to fill), wetting the bottom as well when it seems like it's sticking to the dough. I put them on the middle rack of our electric oven and they're done in exactly 11 minutes. I've made these cookies several times and they've always turned out great.
