Baking with Dorie: Kids' Thumbprints


Four words: I love these cookies!! I hate that I love them because I know I'll keep on opening the cookie jar to get "just another one" (thank God I only made half a batch!). Yup, I made them tonight and am totally in love with them!!

The peanut butter cookies are delighfully crisp and the rolled-on chopped nuts (I used almonds) and the strawberry jam filling complemented one another so well. Crisp yet soft cookie, a nutty and roasty outer shell plus a sweet, sticky filling. You gotta love them!!

Thumbs up (pun intended) to Grapefruit of Needful Things for picking out the recipe this week. Please head over to her blog for the recipe. You may also find it on page 163 of Baking: From My Home To Yours by Dorie Greenspan.

Do check out the blogroll here to see what all the other fabulous BWD bakers did with this weeks' recipe.

  3. They are beautiful. You left the nuts bigger than I did and I like the look. Good job.
