Mine always look a little wonky (perhaps the butter is too soft?) but this year I changed out my jam and had to hide a couple of dozen from my husband so there would be some left for Christmas day. I should make a jar of raspberry jam every summer just for the holiday cookies.<br /><br />I served them to an unexpected guest this morning and she committed the unthinkable and called them thumbprint cookies.

Love the pattern! I found your family traditions very interesting. We have our own although they are slowly falling by the wayside as each generation passes away. My father and I always made Christmas donuts together and now my hubby helps me. In fact, we just finished a batch before I sat down here to visit you. Some family traditions are so precious and our Christian heritage is more important than anything. Your husband's cookies look delicious, by the way. I would love to taste one and have a cuppa in that pretty teacup of yours. How lovely that he makes those every year for the family! He's a keeper! Thank you for joining me for tea today and for your very sweet comment. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-78655924836450208622014-12-16T17:13:40.918-08:002014-12-16T17:13:40.918-08:00I'm going to make some of those jam thumbprint...I'm going to make some of those jam thumbprints (that's what we call them) this week, but I don't mind using apricot jam as well as raspberry.

My late wife was Norwegian and my kids should explore some of those traditions. Their grandmother made a lot of different things and also she bought the cookies from a a neighbor. Great post.
