  1. I haven’t made thumbprint cookies in years, thanks for the reminder and recipe. Lovely table runner!

  2. Oh my goodness you crack me up. “Look the HIndenburg” that is truly priceless! Don’t think I am not going to use it all the time now too! hahahahaha
    Thanks for the beautiful pattern for the runner too. Have a wonderful Christmas!

  3. I laughed out loud at “Look the Hindenburg” and will have to use that line to grab a cookie. These cookies look and sound delicious! I love that little stories you added like your husband getting the recipe and her burning her thumb. It’s great to have helpers do some of the hard work in your projects…lucky you! Thank you for the smiles and the sweetness of your post today. I love having you hop along with us! xo

  4. This is a new recipe for me. My thumb print cookies have nuts in them. Just wondering if there is a mistake in recipe as I noticed it calls for 1 cup sugar in the dough but, in creaming the dough together it calls for 2/3’s. I am looking forward to making them! Thanks for sharing!

  5. Well, fun! We have something in common, and our recipes are different! =) Love the Hindenberg line!

  6. Sharing a recipe is the best way to live on – yea to your hubby and to Grandma Werge. I think I’d agree with Gma, making the thumbprint and adding the jam after the cookies had baked, would be the way to do it. I’m sure they”ll be delicious.

  7. No – you use the remainder of the sugar to roll the balls in before you bake them. It’s in the directions, but I will add it to the ingredients, too.

  8. My Grandma used to make these too – I remember them from when I was little. She also used to make what she called ‘date cookies’ which were a layer of a soft date mixture between two cookies that I think were probably made of bran. The recipe was lost when their house burned and I haven’t been able to find a recipe that duplicated them. The stuff that memories are made of!

  9. Thankyou Kris for sharing your sweet stories, your tempting recipe, beautiful runner and the sweet, sweet photos of the littles. You are a lucky Gramma to get time with them these days ๐Ÿ˜‰

  10. Thank you so much for sharing such a special recipe with us! I have printed it and will definitely try making them – I think this year. I have a special jar of jam that is just begging to be used, and this seems like the perfect application! I’m so glad you joined in the hop this year. ~smile~ Roseanne

  11. Those cookies look and sound yummy. Iโ€™m going to have to give them a try as they sound a lot like the raspberry filled shortbread cookies from the store that I LOVE. Thank you.

  12. Your cookies look yummy and love that you were able to get that recipe!! Loved the Hindenburg line! Too funny! Thanks for sharing!!
