I had such high ambitions to make cupcakes to show off my latest dessert plates… but it is hard when you are out of almost everything and you are house bound with two sick children…. Twins, they do everything together. So instead I made thumbprint cookies… So simple so delicious and hit the spot completely… I had to hide some to use for photos today….
They are simple butter cookies rolled into 1″ balls, indented with, thats right you guessed it- a thumbprint and filled will Raspberry Jam before baking. I left some empty, baked half way through and re-pressed to keep the indent. I have some lemon curd and salted caramel that I am going to fill them with! I used this recipe but there are several!
Do you have a special treat for Sick Days?
PS, If you want some of these plates for your next Tea Party they are now for sale in my A Kitschy Kitchen Shop!
We only got saltines and 7UP on our sick days… Never homemade cookies! What lucky kids you have!
we are just trying to get calories into them… they have turned down all of their favorite foods, including ice cream… these were a hit!
Kids turning down ice cream? Is the world about to end? ;] I’m glad you found something they’d swallow. I’d be happy to eat an entire plate of your cookies, sick or healthy!
that’s when you know kids are sick… I sneak the odd fruit & veg in here and there…
