My Favorite Christmas Cookies
December 18th, 2007Every year one of my favorite moments of the holiday season is getting to slow down and spend time baking and creating delicious (my opinion, of course) goodies for my family and friends. This year my goody boxes included peanut butter fudge, fudge with walnuts, mint fudge, peppermint bark, Andes mint brownies, peanut butter blossom cookies, and my all-time favorite… raspberry thumbprint cookies. I thought I’d post the recipe today for raspberry thumbprints in case you’d like to try them. Maybe they’ll wind up as one of your traditional Christmas-time cookies.
| Raspberry Thumbprints |
| 1/2 c. butter or margarine, softened 1/4 c. brown sugar, firmly packed 1/4 c. white sugar 1 tsp. vanilla 1 1/2 c. flour 2 T. milk 1/3 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips Raspberry preserves |
| Mix everything but the preserves. Form into 1” balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Indent slightly with thumb. Fill with small amount of raspberry preserves. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
*Makes about 3 dozen.* These are also delicious without the chocolate chips and filled with lemon cream . |
Music is my life. Everything can be expressed, handled or just felt more deeply with the right chord or phrase. I have been blessed with some amazing friends and am still at that point where my life is an open book. If you’d like, stick around for a bit and help me write a few chapters…
