I thought I would share one more Christmas cookie recipe before the big day. Are you all in the kitchen baking away today? I’ll be making lots of cookies and sweets to share with my family this weekend. We will be doing lots of eating and celebrating, which I love!

Thumbprint cookies. A classic Christmas cookie. My raspberry thumbprint cookies are made with a almond cookie dough, which are packed with finely chopped almonds. The naturally sweetened cookies are tender, with a bit of crunch from the almonds. I filled the center with a raspberry jam. I didn’t use seedless, but feel free to use your favorite raspberry jam. An apricot jam would be lovely too {another favorite}.

I hope all of your holiday cookie dreams come true, as you bake, bake, bake this weekend. May you and your family have a wonderful Christmas too!

    Just curious if you can bake these ahead at all? Freeze or store in airtight container? Or can you make the dough ahead and freeze the bake day of?
