Our Grandma is well known for her Thumbprint Cookies. I used to look forward to our family Christmas party because I knew that her cookies would be there! She always made them with red and green frosting but if you aren?t a frosting fan, you can fill them with your favorite jelly.
These cookies are one of the recipes out of our new Christmas Cookbook! It is such a fun book full of Christmas crafts, ideas, traditions, and of course, recipes! You can find it HERE for under $15!
