Thumbprint cookies filled with jams, chocolate, caramel, and peanut butter are always popular during the holiday seasons such as Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Thumbprints aren't only easy to make but the filling options are near endless. Thumbprint cookies allow creativity in baking and they can be customized for the occasion.
These cookies are also kid-friendly to make and a great way to get the kids involved!
One of my favorite things about the Holidays is all the baking that I do. I make a lot of cookies to give to family, friends, and coworkers.
Cookies also make great homemade treats to give as gifts but so does Caramel Gingerbread Popcorn and Candied Pecans.
The popcorn makes a great snack while watching Christmas cookies.
Thumbprint Cookie Baking Success
There aren't many things that are needed to make baking cookies a success but there are few tools out there that certainly make it easier!
- To get the same size cookies in every batch, use a cookie scoop! They are available in different sizes and they're perfect for cupcakes as well.
- Reduce your batches by using a large baking sheet - it really cuts down on time and effort!
- One of my go-to items when baking cookies are silicone baking mats. The cookies slide off so easily and you never have to scrub the pan to get any stuck-on bits. In my book, they're a must!
