delicious! i did however add 1 tsp of vanilla instead of 1/2 tsp which gave it a richer taste, the kids loved filling in their thumb prints with jelly!

Although i have always made these with a shortbread-type dough (I use Ina Garten's recipe), I decided to try a brown sugar version and chose these as they were the highest rated here. I made both kinds, using chopped walnuts and strawberry jam. Honestly, I was somewhat disappointed in both the taste and texture. They were simply okay. Not only did I prefer the shortbread type, but so did the other 5 people I asked to try both and let me know what they thought. They all said that although these were okay, they really liked the other cookie better.

oh, how i LOVE thumbprint cookies. this recipe is very good! i used pecans and strawberry/rhubarb jam. i made some with pecans and some without, both delish! i did add 1 Tbs. of lemon juice to the batter just for a little "tart" (which complements the sweet of the jam). i keep going back for "one more" over and over again! two recommendations - make sure the nuts you use are VERY finely chopped - this will help them stick better to the small cookie. also, i would recommend doubling this recipe if you want to make enough to share!!

A keeper. Made me go "mmmm". I rolled some in coconut too. Raspberry jam is the best, but apple jelly is quite good too.

These cookies are very light and pretty on a plate. Just be aware that this recipe only makes slightly more than one dozen cookies.....if I use it again I'll double the recipe for sure. I also had to bake mine about 12 minutes, but that might just be my oven's problem. All in all, I'd say these are ok, but certainly not as exceptional as most other recipes on this site.

My mom used to make these when I was growing up. They are really delicious! Thanks for posting; couldn't seem to find my mom's recipe anywhere. I made 6 dozen for a cookie exchange using strawberry preserves and seedless blackberry fruit spread. Perfect for any holiday cookie tray! DH really likes them (he's glad there are some leftover for him)!

These are terrible! I make them, and I eat them all before I get the chance to share them with anyone! I LOVE THESE COOKIES! So light and tender and yummy. I didn't follow the recipe exactly though. I used a half cup of salted butter instead of the shortening and didn't use the nuts at all. Oh my, what a treat!

Simple and I had never had thumbprint cookies with nuts before. Fantastic, will be a new traditional cookie.

I had a bake sale, and decided to make these to sale. all of them were sold, or eaten! they are really good. plum jelly in the middle seems to be the best! FYI*** when you double the recipie it only makes 24. not 40. don't be fooled. otherwise they are this tiny little cookie you could eat in one-bite.

This was definately a good idea on my part to try these! I had a gathering of friends over so doubled the recipe. I should have tripled it as there was only crumbs on the cookie plates for my husband when he came home!! I used walnuts & raspberry jam, superb! I have alot of men in my family so I always make my cookies twice the size as a recipe calls for and these stayed together nicely but took about 10 mins for them to brown nicely. Excellent recipe!

Absolutely Outstanding! I got 24 cookies out of this recipe and used raspberry jam on half and pressed a chocolate kiss into the other half.
