Easy Thumbprint Cookies


You know those great little cookies..rolled in nuts with a jelly center. I just love them and at the holidays they just light up a tray of cookies. They are simple to make..but I ll show you how to make these great gems in no time at all.

NEED:

One roll of sugar cookies ( any brand)

One package of ground walnuts (16 oz)

Jellies---strawberry, mint apple, apricot......or your choice

Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 6 to 8 minutes

Slice cookie dough..roll in ball..roll in ground walnuts..place on cookie sheet. Dip knuckle into flour, so it does not stick to dough and indent center. Fill with a small mound of jelly. Repeat, placing cookies on cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. The jellies will glisten and the strawberry and mint apple are perfect for Christmas. The apricot is classic and my favorite..but experiment. If your children love grape..do grape..the sky is the limit.
