Chocolate snowcaps are another old classic cookie that is popular around Christmas.  Little balls of chocolate dough are rolled in powdered sugar and placed on a baking sheet. As they bake, they spread out and develop cracks, that reveal the chocolate cookie underneath, leaving behind a cracked powdered sugar coating. Cool looking and delicious tasting.

Jam Thumbprints

A buttery dough, rolled in coconut or finely ground walnuts or pecans, and finished with a thumbprint of jam, always a Christmas favorite.

Jam Thumbprints


Jam Thumbprint Cookies have long been a favorite holiday cookie. This, like most thumbprint cookie recipes, is the same standard recipe with loads of butter and dabbed with dot of jam, but I love the addition of the coconut that Ina Garten uses. Not a common addition in the typical thumbprint, but I think it makes a big difference. This cookie is a winner - give it a try! Bake these on a plain, ungreased baking sheet. Don't use a silpat or the cookie will spread too much.
