Jam Thumbprint Tutorial

How to (or not to) make Jam Thumbprint cookies:

#1 make sure you have all the ingredients needed or else you will have to search foodnetwork.com for an acceptable alternative.

#2 don't mix up your cookie batter while eating your Kraft macaroni and cheese. While you might think the extra gluten will help~~trust me, it won't.

#3 don't pop into the living room to check on Jeopardy while mixing ingredients. Oh my, where was I?

# 4 How can you go wrong with copious amounts of butter, vanilla extract, eggs and flour?

Happy Holidays!!
