Hazelnut Thumbprint Cookies
Thumbprint cookies are similar to the Hershey Kisses Blossom Cookies except this time around I used Hazelnut and did not chill the dough before baking. I also used baking soda instead of baking powder per the original recipe from If You Give A Blond A Kitchen which also used peanut butter but I’ve skipped it this time. I just wanted a simple Hazelnut Thumbprint Cookies for my first day of holiday baking and I’m happy to say the family approves.
