What other color can feel so Christmassy and festive other than red. I am in a full festive mood and therefore made these bright and red Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies to feel even more happier. My son jumped after having a look at them, and made my life hell for a few minutes because I was clicking and he had to wait to have a bite. The cookies are crisp, melt in your mouth and I would highly recommend this recipe. They can be stored in an airtight container, as the jam makes them a little soggy when left for a long time. I suggest making the dough and bake as much cookies you need and refrigerate the remaining dough and thaw the dough for a few minutes before baking the cookies again. This recipe will give approx 20-22 cookies.
If baking cookies has captured your imagination, you can even try making the Crunchy Indian Shortbread Cookies,the crunchier Peanut Butter Cookies or the Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Hi Neha! I tried these biscuits today and while they taste yum I had a couple of problems….hope you can help me! So when I made the depression with the thumb and popped them in the oven, the biscuits puffed up and the depression disappeared. After 10 mins I took them out a dropped a bit of jam and kept them back for 4-5 minutes but the jam started bubbling and slipped off the biscuits!! Any tips to get them like yours?? Thanks
