Are you ready for the big day? πŸŽ„πŸŽ…πŸ»πŸ€ΆπŸ»πŸŽ


Are we ever ready for anything?
This year, with COVID 19 compromising many, many plans and festivities, the blessing of Christmas seems a little out of sorts.


All we can do is give thanks and bake cookies, I suppose!

 




Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies 


2 sticks butter, room temperature (16 Tbs.)
14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup white sugar
3 Tbs. cornstarch
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. sea salt
3 cups (scant) all-purpose flour.
1/2 cup Raspberry Preserves

 

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.


Cream together the butter, milk, and sugar, until light and fluffy.


Mix in the cornstarch, baking soda and powder, vanilla, and salt.


Add the flour 1/2 cup at a time, until doughy. It may only take 2 1/2 cups of flour – just watch for the texture not to become too dry.

 

Form into 1″ balls and place and parchment-lined cookie sheets.


Flatten the balls with the back of a glass.


Next, using a teaspoon, form teaspoon-sized divots in the center of each cookie.


Fill with dollops of Raspberry Preserves.

 

Bake for 15-18 minutes, until just turning golden brown.

 

Cool for several hours to let the preserves set!
