Directions
Raspberry Almond Shortbread Thumbprints, This is a great recipe I stumbled across on the inside of a Land O Lakes butter box! I remember thinking that it looked good but recipes inside boxes couldn’t possibly be good Boy was I wrong This one gets more compliments Be sure to use real butter and roll small balls as it will help your cookies look better The prep time does not including cooking time or cooling time , I love these cookies! I made them with sugar the first time and they were great, but they are even better with Slenda , Simple cookie to make and very tasty I would make a few changes After I had these in the oven I read the bottom of the recipe where it talks about chilling dough if it spreads or adding a tablespoon or two of extra flour if dough is soft That would have been nice to know earlier on in the recipe I am not going to put the jelly in the cookie before baking I think I will bake 1/2 way and then add jelly I did not like that the jelly cooked out and spread all over the cookie sheet I will make these again with my adjustments I would cut down on the almond flavor in the glaze also
