As promised, I am posting the last two recipes that I made for my cookie trays this holiday season.
THUMBPRINT COOKIES
1 egg separated
1/2 c. softened butter
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 c. all-purpose flour
1.4 c. chopped nuts
2/3 c. jam or preserves
- Mix all the ingredients together except the nuts and jam.
- Roll the dough into balls.
- Beat the egg white that was set aside and dip the balls into the wash.
- Roll the balls into the chopped nuts and place them onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Press the center of the balls down lightly with your thumb to make an indent.
- Bake in a 325° oven for 5 minutes until slightly puffy. Remove the tray from the oven.
- Place a dollop of jam into the center of each cookie and return to the oven.
- Bake another 8 - 10 minutes or until you feel they are thoroughly cooked.
- Let cool on the cookie tray for a few minutes before moving it to a cooling rack.
I have to admit I really liked the mixed berry jam for the thumbprints this year. Even though these cookies take a bit of time to prepare you will really enjoy serving them to your guests.
PEPPER COOKIES
1/2 c. oil
1 c. milk
1/2 c. chocolate chips
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
1 c. sugar
3 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. cocoa powder
1 teaspoon each:
Allspice, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, baking soda, baking powder, and black pepper
(If you would like the cookie a bit spicier add another teaspoon of pepper)
- Mix all the dry goods together.
- Make a well in the center and add all liquids, chips, and nuts.
- Roll into small balls.
- Bake at 350° for 10 - 12 minutes.
- Drizzle with confectionary frosting.
I hope that your holiday festivities were filled with delightful goodies that everyone could enjoy. If you missed my earlier posts with the other cookie recipes you can find the links below. May you have a blessed New Year.

Ah, you are full-on summer now and we are in a deep freeze but Christmas was great as always. I did tons of baking and went through pound after pound of butter which was pretty pricey this year. It was all worth the fun of baking for everyone. I wish you the most blessed New Year and may it be a very healthy and prosperous one for you and your loved ones.
Warm days mixed with cooler rainy days, strange summer so far. Cake baking is one thing I never took to, we have elderly who make a living off baking and support them. Christmas time we order fruit cake which is a once a year treat with ice-cream.
Hope the New Year is kind to You and the family.
Everything looks delicious and quite easy to prepare.
Yes, they are so easy and that's why I like making the simpler ones when doing so many varieties. Happiest New Year my dear Denisse. ♥
I guess so. I was just thinking about making some cookies, tomorrow I'll see if I can buy the ingredients to make some delicious cookies. I hope you have a happy end of the year and that the year to come is full of wonderful things.
love and hugs to you and your family
Likewise dear. I hope you spend these days in family union. Greetings from this island to New York

My mother used to make the thumbprint cookies. They all look delicious.
Hi @redheadpei my mother-in-law liked making these too. They were really good with the triple berry jam. Happy New Year to you and yours.
After seeing yours I made some and had the triple berry jam to put in the center. I used your recipe and added 2 tsp. cornstarch to flour as my mother did.
Happy New Year @sunscape! 🎉
