Food For Thought Thursdays - Thimble Cookies

Steph at Purple Lotus Heart has the most beautiful post of her recent trip to Bali, lovely photos!

And I'm linking this post to Robin Panzer's Food For Thought Thursdays.  Do stop by and see what everyone else is eating this week.




Thimble Cookies


Laurie over at 'When the Bough Breaks' recently posted her great grandmother's Thimble cookie recipe. I decided to try my own version of it using fresh raspberries I had on hand. It was absolutely delicious! Thanks Laurie!

pre-heat oven to 350F (I have a hot oven)

1 cup butter or margarine
3/4 white cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
fresh raspberries or raspberry jelly (I guess you could use your favourite jam)


Cream the butter and sugar together. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix in the flour. Drop tablespoons of the mixture onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Roll into balls. Press the centres down with your thumb (thimble). Fill the indent with a fresh raspberry or can use raspberry jelly.


Bake for approximately 13 minutes until the cookies start to turn brown at the edges. Makes about 30 small cookies.

We do something similar. It's a peanut butter cookie with a Hershey Kiss in the middle.
