Who hasn’t eaten a thumbprint cookie, especially at the holidays? There’s so much variety in what to put in the crater made by your thumb before baking: Hershey’s chocolate kisses, jams or jellies, fruit, etc. I’m sure there are many variations. I remember making a version of this recipe from My Mother’s Recipe Box for “stained glass” cookies: each one has a Lifesaver candy in the center that melts when baked to look like a stained glass window.
What’s your favorite?


Love thumbprint cookies with strawberry preserves. Thanks for sharing these special recipes from your mom’s box!
