CHERRY PECAN THUMBPRINTS
It isn't Christmas in our house without these cookies. I've even been out of state and had to mail these cookies home because the family couldn't be without them. I love them because they contain a lot less sugar than a lot of cookie recipes, but you never miss it.

[email protected]I've made these cookies several times now and they're always a hit. They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfect. The only thing I would change is to use a little less sugar in the filling. Other than that, they're perfect!

[email protected]These cookies are so good! The cherry pecan filling is the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The cookies are soft and chewy, and they're so easy to make. I will definitely be making these again!

[email protected]Easy and delicious! I used a mix of dried cherries and cranberries for the filling and they turned out great. The cookies are soft and chewy, and the filling is sweet and tart. Perfect for a quick and easy snack or dessert.
