Mother's Day Thumb-Print Cookies With Bonne Maman Fruit Preserves!

Looking back on my life, I have found some of my best childhood memories involve spending time in the kitchen with my grandmother. It started with me helping with small tasks like setting the table, or pouring pre-measured ingredients into the mix. As I got older, she taught me a lifetime of wonderful recipes that I now pass along to my grandchildren. Among my favorites are her simple yet delicious thumb-print cookies, which I've decided to make as a special treat for Mother's Day. After debating what kind of center to use, I decided there would be no better way to honor my grandmother's recipe than with fruit preserves from Bonne Maman!

As an added bonus for our family, they are free of peanuts, tree-nuts, and sesame nuts.

  2. These cookies look delicious. I never thought of making thumb print cookies with jelly before, but we have three different flavors in the house so maybe I'll try them.

  3. My grandma used to make these. I've never tried making them but I should. I've also been wanting to try this brand of jam.
