Welcome to day four of my adventures in cookie baking! Today I started with a mix and whipped up a batch of delicious thumbprint cookies. This is a mix and a recipe I've used before so I was 99.5% certain these cookies would turn out *chefs kiss* perfect.
On to the cookies,
I used the my favorite cookie sheet, which was purchased by the Man, so I'll give him credit for finding a quality cookie sheet at a good price. I don't know what he paid for it, but he loves to shop for a good deal.
The mix I used was the
Absolutely Almond Pound Cake Mix from Tastefully Simple I got my box from my good friend
Becky McNeill.
All you need is the mix, 1 stick of butter, an egg, a wee bit of water and the jam of your choice. I had a jar of the Tastefully Simple's
Rhubarb Strawberry Fruit Spread so I used that, but in the past I have used apricot jam and the best of all jams: Currant Jelly.
You mix the ingredients and then bake for 10 minutes after which you remove the cookies from the over, make the thumbprints, add your jelly of choice and cook for another 4-6 minutes. What sets these cookies apart is the almond flavor in the mix.
Here is my finished product. I ate a couple and the kids had a couple and now the rest are in my garage freezer--safe from easy consumption and ready to be added to holiday cookie trays.
What cookies will I make next? Stay tuned!
xoxo
