Love this recipe thanks high5


Thumb buddy loves these here!!


OMG! I can't believe you had this recipe! Thanks for sharing. This was the 2nd recipe I ever made. Started baking in 6th grade (first was Pudding Cookies). This was in my mom's fave cookbook, and I haven't thought of them in years! So glad you shared. Will be making these during the holidays. Her recipe called for filling in the thumbprint with a confectioners sugar glaze. Love the jelly!! high 5.
