I would love a good recipe for thumbprint cookies, I know mine won't be as good as my sister-in-laws(she passed away suddenly on 12-11-07)...but I'd love to try and make them for her husband and son for Christmas. Thanks in advance for anyone who makes a good thumbprint cookie...I will treasure the recipe for eternity.

You're in luck...I have a recipe, and I know it's tried and true! My MIL makes them for her 4 boys each year-I'm off to find the recipe for you now...be back in a minute!

You are so welcome-glad I could find that for you! Let me know how the cookies turn out-what flavor jam will you use?

I bet your sister in law will look down on you, and will help you get those cookies made perfectly!

Enjoy baking and thinking of her-smile, giggle, and enjoy the memories of her.

I started my christmas cookies today. We made pizzelles. I'm pooped already, but I still have a long way to go.

Going to make the following
Cocoa snowflakes (the kind rolled in powder that crack when baked)
peanut butter cookies with red and green sugar
Vienna tarts (rich cream cheese pastry tartlet cookies with apricot jam)
Frost bites (orange spiced oatmeal raisin cookies dipped in white chocolate)
gingerbread
lemon squares (but I'm gonna cut them into diamonds or triangles)
sugar cookie cutouts
Peanut butter/chocolate marble fudge with red and green jimmies

Is anyone else out there as anal as I am about their cookies? LOL!

I use a cookie scoop on all my doughs, so I come out with cookies all the same size.

LOL, a friend of mine got us all cookie scoops this year-so we put them to good use! They look like a big plastic measuring teaspoon, but the bottom of them is rubber, so you can push the dough out! They worked great!

And no...I'm not that anal about the size of them, but I am a freak about frosting the sugar cookies...I'm the artistic one and have a fine arts degree...meanwhile I was frosting with two CPA's and a psychologist- NOT so creative!!!

They were all about the ONE colored cookies, with whatever sprinkles on them. Boo.

OK Cookie bakers, let's see pictures of those cookies!!

I have
Pizzelles (left)
Cream cheese thumbprints (top center)
Frost Bites (top right)
Cocoa snowflakes (below those)
Christmas tree sugar cookies

And I'm still not done yet. I still have to make chcolate and peanut butter fudge, montacados, and gingerbread. Maybe caramel popcorn too, but I'm not sure yet.
