Entertaining With Lucille
Thumb print cookies have always been a favorite at our family, holiday table. My mom and all my aunts were sure to have this holiday treat! I love to use a combination of pepper jams to create a feast for the eyes as well as the sweet tooth. These cookies keep well in the freezer, so I usually make a double batch and bring them out in waves for holiday parties. You can package these cookies in gift boxes (before filling with jam) and give them with a jar of our pepper jam for a homemade gift that everyone is sure to expect again next year!
We hope that your holiday is filled with great traditions, old and new!
Very Sincerely,
Zoie Glass
