More Yummy Treats
I'm a sidekick when it comes to Christmas cookie baking. I grind the nuts found in the Snowballs and Birds Nests; chop the dates in the Strawberries; break the starlight mints found in the Mint White Chocolate Chip cookies. I keep an eye on the clock to help make sure the cookies don't burn. I shoot the breeze with the main baker and keep them company as they work. Taken December 2013.

Re: More Yummy Treats
@ RabidWolff : My Mom calls them Birds Nest cookies but I think they are also known as thumbprint cookies. They're a buttery cookie, rolled in nuts then one's thumb is pressed down on them to create a well and jelly is added then cooked. In the picture they are the first cookie on the left, so they're kinda hard to see. They might be my favorite Christmas cookie.

@ Churchgoer : Thanks. Well, if you'd somehow show-up, I'm sure you could snag a tin of cookies. My Mom ends up making about at least 150 cookies of each type and we're eating them till early March.

Re: More Yummy Treats
Ok, as soon as you said thumbprint cookies I knew exactly what they were!
I used to make them with my Mom every Christmas Smiling
