Happy Holiday Season! It’s all about the cookies, am I right? One of my favorite cookies is a thumbprint cookie, you know the shortbread style with a dot of jam in the center? Well, move over jam! I had this jar of Nocciolata sent to me to try out, as soon as I tasted it (right from the jar with a spoon #sorrynotsorry), I knew it would be a decadent addition to a simple cookie base. My mother-in-law and I took the standard ingredients of a thumbprint cookie and gave them a little twist, and I have to say, we knocked it out of the park. They are were SO SO good! See below for the recipe and give them a try for your own holiday gathering.
