Buttery and Rich Thumbprint Cookies
You know how you have those core Christmas cookies that you have to make every year or it’s just doesn’t feel like a true Christmas? Well, these are those cookies for our family, and I guarantee if you make these Thumbprint cookies, they’ll be that for you from here on out too!
Side note: If you love Starbucks cranberry cream cheese bars, (and who doesn’t?) you’ve got to try my copycat recipe! That’s another Christmas must for us each year!
Now, the twist with these thumbprint cookies that make them a little different than most, is because they’re rolled in walnut goodness and when you cook them, the walnuts just take on this perfect crunchy, toasted taste that melds so well with the shortbread flavor of the cookie.
Preserve Vs. Jam
And trust me when I say this, you need to use raspberry preserve to fill these. There’s just something about the raspberry and flavor of the cookie that equal perfection. Make sure you don’t purchase jam on accident. Preserve is thicker and holds onto the cookie better, meaning you won’t have a plate of runny jam dripping cookies. Those aren’t as appetizing. Trust me.

You don’t say what temperature to cook the cookies at is it 350°
i echo Donna -temp? is there an alternate to crushed walnuts. or leave it out. i don't like nuts and so many are allergic these days. also, i would not use raspberry-how about cherry or strawberry preserves?
