{TWD} Thumbprints For Us Big Guys

Sometimes I find that I stray from a recipe and it turns out ten times more delicious! Sometimes I find that a change I makes affects the dish more than I had desired. Every so often, I read through a recipe really carefully and thoroughly.

The last batch of cookies I made, I discovered just before I planned to pop them into the oven that I was supposed to chill the dough for hours. Those clumbsy mistakes are frustrating because I make plans to make, bake and take things to certain places and when I don’t read carefully, I find that I am not meeting a schedule that I set out for myself.

So, I read this recipe thoroughly. Or sort of thoroughly. Here is where I got stuck…we were told to hold the cookie dough ball with the pointer finger and thumb of one hand and make an indentation with our pinky of the other hand. PINKY? Or, she said, make the indentation with the bottom of a wooden spoon. Come on, how can we make “Thumbprints” if we don’t use our THUMBS to make the prints?!?!

I know, trite and petty. But I just had to stir up some kind of drama to keep you from eating these cookies. They are way too yummy to share! Make your own and stick your thumb in them! Oh, and I made mine with almond flour and blackberry seedless jam. Delicious!

Evening Update: The half batch I made yesterday was not enough. I made a full batch today and took them to a friends house. They were devoured.
