Mike of Ugly Food Dude selected Thumbprints For Us Big Guys on page 164. Check his blog for the recipe.
Jam thumbprints - an oldie but a goodie. Isn't it funny how foods go in and out of style just like clothes do? I used to see these more often but lately they seem to be a thing of the past and only make appearances at Christmastime. Maybe it's time for a thumbprint revival!
I think they are also called birdsnests in other parts of the world? My mom saw them and said, "Oh, birdsnest cookies!" Would a rose by any other name smell as sweet? Oh yes. Whether you call them thumbprints or birdsnests, they are just as yummy. My favorite is raspberry jam but the platter looks pretty if you use different colored jams like blackberry or apricot.
I used raspberry jam too and loved them. I love the looks of your cookies..so nutty and really pretty too!
ReplyDeleteI like the look of the nuts on the outside. It gives a tropical look.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tia for commenting on my blog, I really appreciate it a lot.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you did cause it gave me the chance to discover your blog, which... after all this time with the TWD, I kinda forgot about newcomers... (which you might not be, but still your blog is new to me!)
This is a lovely place, and you can rest assured I'll come back again... I'm a freak for pink, I love your banner... and you seem pretty darn great with nutty cookies!
I love the visible nuggets of hazelnut in your cookies. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteDid you roll your cookie dough in nuts? I love how they look! I might have to steal that idea next time I bake these. Great job!

ReplyDeleteDefinitely an oldie but goodie. You can never tire of these or have too many of them.
ReplyDeleteI love that you rolled them in nuts.
ReplyDeleteI am considering using peanuts and strawberry jam...sounds so wonderful.
