Raspberry jam thumbprint cookies

Raspberry jam thumbprint cookies

Happy Holiday’s my friends!  Are you ready for the holidays or are you like myself  trying to wrap my brain around the fact that we are nearly 1 week from Christmas, While I have been quiet on here, I have been testing and retesting cookie recipes. These raspberry jam thumb print cookies turned out amazing with the right amount of buttery and sweetness filled with raspberry jam. I hope Santa and his reindeer like them as much we do!

 

 

 

These cookies are so easy to make, and are perfect activity to do with the kids on the Christmas break, plus they take less than an hour including a bit of a chill period. I love adding raspberry jam but you can make any substitution or use a combo.
