From making the thumbprint with your thumb or whatever finger you choose, to filling the centers with the preserves, these cookies are fun to make. I cut the recipe in half and ended up with 15 cookies. The recipe called for unsalted pistachios. I had salted on the shelf and used them instead. The contrast of the sweet preserves and the salted pistachios is delicious. I didn't have quite enough apicot preserves, so I filled a few of them with plum preserves. Actually, I like the contrast you get with the dark preserves. These cookies were a thumbs up at my house!

I love anything with pistachios in them!
ReplyDeleteI think having the two colors makes your photo much more interesting. I, originally planned to do that , use different jellies. My jars of jelly have taken a walk.
ReplyDeleteI rearranged my kitchen and I am not rearranging them back so I am not sure where everything is and that includes the jelly and my cookie cutters. I think they have feet.
I am glad you got to use more than one jelly because it is more effective and gives people a choice.
I love the contrast of the two different colored preserves! These look beautiful

ReplyDeleteThumbprints remind of my mom too. (She passed away three years ago.)
I agree with you, these are fun to make! Plum preserves sounds delicious. That's what so great about these...all the choices with fillings. Thumbs up for the thumbprints!
ReplyDeleteLinzers are fairly new to me. I first made them around Christmas time last year and we really enjoyed them.
