Tasty Tuesday: Rasberry Thumbprint Cookies


If I had a signature recipe, this would be it! I’ve made these delectable treats for every family event in the past four years, and every time I get compliments and they’re gobbled up. So, you should feel very special I’m sharing my secret recipe with you. Ladies, I even got marriage proposals from these!

cup sugar
1
cup butter or margarine, softened
1
teaspoon vanilla
1/8
teaspoon ground nutmeg
1
egg
2 3/4
Cups all-purpose flour
½
teaspoon baking soda
Rasberry Jam

Cup white chocolate chips
Sprinkles, if desired





1. Preheat oven to 375

2. Beat sugar and butter with electric mixer on low speed or with spoon until light and fluffy. Stir in vanilla, nutmeg and egg. Stir in flour and baking soda. Shape dough by teaspoonfuls into balls. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
