50 Thumbprint Cookie Recipes to See You Through the Holidays and Beyond
When it comes to baking, we’re all about recipes that are as delicious to eat as they are fun to make. Enter these holiday favorites—squishing the dough down to make the little divots for filling is surprisingly satisfying.

On second thought, maybe we’ll just buy everyone’s gifts this year...
