Directions
Red Currant Jelly Thumbprint Cookies, These are delicious cookies They have been a family favorite for years My daughter used to to love help make them at christmas time We always used chocolate or coffee icing instead of the jam or jelly They are great with a cup of coffee , These cookies were just so-so, I wasn’t all that impressed with them The texture was just okay, and they were not sweet enough , I was almost going to go with another recipe but then this one just seemed better And, boy am I glad I we went this one The cookies are wonderful My husband says they taste like polvorones (a Puerto Rican dry cookie) He has eaten several and he is really happy that my daughter doesn’t care for them them:-) I did use one half a vanilla bean as I had them on hand Also, used a small cookie scoop (made by Oxo) and I got 4 dozen from each batch (I made two batches for a total of 8 dozen cookies) I didn’t finely chop my nuts, so used more like 2 cups per batch I cooked 14 minutes I am hoping that everyone at my cookie swaps loves them as much as we do!
