This past Saturday we took the day off from life and made Christmas Cookies. It was so fun for me and the girls to just spend the afternoon making a total mess in the kitchen and coming out with some interesting cookies.

The final, colorful product!
These are called Thumbprint Cookies. They are our all time favorite Christmas Cookie. The recipe comes from Betty Crocker's 1963 Cooky Book, the best cookie book ever!
Thumbprint Cookies
1/2 cup butter, 1 cup Flour
1/4 cup brown sugar (packed), 1/4 tea salt
1 egg separated, 1/2 tea vanilla
3/4 cup finely chopped nuts, Raspberry jelly
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix butter, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla thoroughly. Blend together flour and salt; stir in. (I just use a normal hand mixer) Roll dough into balls (1 tsp. per ball). Beat egg whites slightly with a fork. Dip balls in egg white. Roll in nuts. Place about 1" apart on ungreased baking sheet; press thumb gently in center of each. Bake 10-12 min. Cool and fill thumbprints with jelly.

Thumbprints are my family's favorite too. I also put green applemint jelly in one half of the batch it looks real christmasy and tastes refreshing. It looks like your family had a funfilled day! ~ Robyn
Those thumb print cookies were delicious! Sad to say they are already gone. Thanks so much for sharing them with us. Maybe I'll crack the whip and have Noel & Jessie make some this weekend.
