    These Raspberry and Lemon Thumbprints cookies are so easy to make and so yummy! You can use any preserves you have handy. Perfection every time! 

    Raspberry and Lemon Thumbprints

    Use your favorite preserve or jam to make these Raspberry and Lemon Thumbprints cookies!  I used lemon and raspberry flavors but I have used every kind of jam, at one time or another.

    In our house, we seem to go through phases with foods, especially preserves.  I will only have raspberry jam for a while, then I switch to peach, then strawberry and you get the idea.

    It’s not that I get sick of a particular flavor, I look at it like I just need a change.  Anyone else like that?  Hopefully I am not the only one on the planet like that!

    If I am having friends or family over or if I am bringing these cookies to an event of some kind, I will use more than one kind of jam to make these Raspberry and Lemon Thumbprints.  They look so pretty on a serving plate with the different colors!

    The cookie dough is absolutely delicious on its own too!  Once you taste them, you will be pleasantly surprised!
