When I was a little girl my mom, sister, and I would make thumbprint holiday cookies. My sister and I loved being able to press our thumbs into the cookie dough. And, then, of course, we loved to sample our homemade cookies! This easy thumbprint holiday cookie recipe is similar to the one I grew up making. And, it is the perfect holiday treat!

Cookies are my love language. Truly, if I am ever in a bad mood, bring me a cookie, and all will be right in the world again. But, I especially love holiday cookies. They must just be a little more magical.
What type of cookie is your favorite? I really love sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies. But, these are pretty high on my list of favorites too.
