Holiday Treats

I'm going to my Nana's house for Thanksgiving this year. She usually has all the traditional foods: turkey, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy, etc. So I am bringing a dessert! I thought I would share it with you! Almond raspberry thumbprint cookies are usually a Christmas thing, but I figure, if they're delicious it doesn't matter.

The recipe is actually from my Nana. And also, I got this cute little recipe box from half priced books! Kind of an early Christmas present for myself :)



I like this one because it uses all the basic ingredients. Its pretty straight forward, the only one missing in the picture is water.



And the finished product... The glaze didn't drizzle very evenly but besides that I'm quite happy with how they turned out! I like to make them small and miniature, I just think they are cuter that way, but because of that, I ended up with thirty something. Oops! Well, better to have too many cookies than too few, right?

Accepted!



I did it! It looks like this girl will be staying in Oklahoma another year! :)
And I have to say... I couldn't be happier!
