25 Days of Cookies – Day 8
Happy 8th Day of the 25 Days of Cookies! I got these cool thumbprint cookie cutters from Williams Sonoma so today’s cookie of the day is a shortbread thumbprint cookie with cranberry jam! This recipe utilizes two of my fav Christmas recipes: rolled out shortbread and cranberry jam! If you are more into the pillowy soft thumbprint cookies, I suggest making these cranberry jam thumbprint cookies instead! If cranberry jam is not your thing, feel free to sub with your favorite filling!
