Thumbprint cookie recipe?!
Thumbprint cookie recipe?
I am looking for a recipe for a quick and simple (kid friendly) recipe for thumbprint cookies. the ones that are like sugar cookies ? that you fill with jam. they have to be WITH OUT nuts.
I tried google and yahoo search and came up with nothing so please don't suggest that.
I know there has to be a recipe like this out there because i remember making it a few times when i was a teenager and i never had to seperate eggs and there were no nuts you just mixed it all up and droped it on a pan, and then i think you baked it a while and then filled them and then baked it a while longer, but its been a while so i might be a little off on when you filled them and stuff.
Thanks for your help, I really want this recipe, I am babysitting tomarrow and the girls really want me to teach them to bake.
