Rich, buttery, soft cookies, filled with delicious jams, and sprinkled with confectioner’s sugar. These thumbprint cookies are the best I have ever had. Oh yeah, and some $$$ to giveaway

Butter thumbprint cookies are easy to make and perfect for holiday baking. Yum!

I made them with my kids, and my daughter took some to school. Her teacher asked her for the recipe. So you are not just taking my word for it. They really are so yummy.

Cookie making is a huge part of the holiday season, and these particular cookies are my new favorites. They are soft, buttery, and oh so delicious.
