PERFECT THUMBPRINT COOKIES
My mother, Pauline, made really nice thumbprint cookies, but I never wrote down her recipe. I knew the ingredients, but unless you have the right proportions, you won't get that perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture. So, I did an image search and found a recipe that looked very similar, credited to a great-grandma named Mitzi. Since my last name is Mitzewich, that pretty much sealed the deal. In case you can't decide between a shortbread-focused cookie and a more jammy one, here's how to make both.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Mix butter and powdered sugar together with a rubber spatula until creamy. Add vanilla extract, almond extract, salt, and egg yolk. Mix with the spatula. Add flour and blend until just combined.
- Use a sorbet scoop to portion dough into 1/2-ounce (1-tablespoon) balls. Roll balls in a plate of white sugar to coat; roll again between your palms. Place several inches apart on a silicone-lined baking sheet. Flatten balls lightly with your fingers.
- To make shortbread cookies with a little jam, poke a well into each cookie using the end of a thick wooden spoon dusted with powdered sugar or using one of your fingers. Fill cookies with fruit jam. Tap baking sheet against the counter to let jam settle.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tops are barely blonde and bottoms are slightly golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack before icing.
- Meanwhile, mix powdered sugar with a little milk until you have a consistency that will hold its shape when piped. Pipe icing on top of cookies in a zigzag pattern. Let sit for 15 minutes before serving.
- For a more jam-forward cookie, press your thumb into the cookies to make large, shallow indentations. Spoon in jam. Tap baking sheet against the counter.
- Bake until not quite golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let rest on pan for 5 minutes before transferring a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar.

If you're tired of having totally flat or stiff and tasteless chocolate chip cookies for the high altitude baker, then this is the recipe for you! If you like firmer cookies, increase the flour by 1/4 cup.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, stir together the butter, white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the batter just until blended, then mix in the chocolate chips so they are evenly distributed. Drop cookies by heaping teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets spacing 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the edges begin to turn golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick mats. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the milk and vanilla, and mix well. Add the flour and salt. Beat together until the ingredients are completely incorporated and the dough comes together.
- Scoop the dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto your baking sheets. Use a 1/2-teaspoon measuring spoon to press into each cookie, making a divot in the center where the jam will go. Place the cookie dough in refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Take out the cookies and spoon the preserves into each divot, filling it to the top of the indent. Bake until the cookies have just started to brown, 20-22 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack and enjoy.

- Snickdoodle Cookies. My kids favorite cookie- holiday or not! These are a classic and beloved by all. Often during the holidays I will use a sparkling finishing sugar to roll the cookies in to fancy them up a bit!
- Perfect High Altitude Sugar Cookies. This is MY favorite holiday cookie. I rarely make sugar cookies outside the month of December. Not because I don’t love them but because I don’t have any self control and will eat them ALL!
- Chocolate Crinkles with Coconut Oil. These are my favorite childhood cookie updated. My mom makes these every year! The original recipe calls for either canola or vegetable oil but I started using coconut oil a few years ago and love the taste and texture.
- Flourless Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. A delicious gluten free and grain free cookie option and absolutely incredible! I am not either gluten or grain free and love these cookies just the same!
- Peanut Butter Ritz Cookies with Dulce de Leche. Have you ever had these no bake cookies? I was introduced to them by a friend years ago and they’re a favorite to make this time of year.
