EASY Thumbprint Cookies

This is a recipe I have been using every Christmas for quite a few years…I got it off of allrecipes.com (love that site!) Chances are you have all the ingredients..so, if you have not made your Christmas cookies, you are in LUCK! No worries about rushing to the grocery store with this recipe!

 These cookies are light, buttery and delicious…they are even great to freeze. Enjoy! I know I have!

    Janelle, those look so yummy. I have made those exact same ones every Christmas too. I got the recipe from allrecipes too. Ok, so I made your Perfect Choco Chip Cookies, and I have to tell you..they were perfect. Even my hubby said they were the best I ever made. Thank you soo much, I usually make goodies for our Pastors at church and the CC Cookies, peppermint bark where in there and these yummy oreo balls that I am sharing on my blog!! You have to try them they are to die for!! I told one of our pastors that they were sinful and that after he ate them he had to go and repent. LOL, he thought that was funny. Anyway, thank you again for all your help. And oh, I made the sugar cookies again, they are still in refri and I will be baking them tomorrow and I think the batter came out way better than the last one. We shall see tomorrow I will let you.
    God Bless you sis!
