Raspberry Almond Shortbread Thumbprints image

This is a great recipe I stumbled across on the inside of a Land O Lakes butter box! I remember thinking that it looked good but recipes inside boxes couldn't possibly be good. Boy was I wrong. This one gets more compliments. Be sure to use real butter and roll small balls as it will help your cookies look better. The prep time does not including cooking time or cooling time.

Yield 40-48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

2/3 cup sugar

I'm not usually a fan of shortbread cookies, but these raspberry almond thumbprints are an exception. They're the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and the almond flavor adds a nice touch of sophistication.
