I had to make them a little smaller to make them fit in the muffin papers. As you can see, this resulted in a boatload of cookies.
I haven't posted in ages, sorry! I mention that because this post is technically about cookies I made for Valentines Day. The cookie itself is a buttery vanilla cookie. I rolled the dough into a ball and put it into a mini muffin paper. Rather than using my thumb to make the indentation (because they were too small) I used the end of a wooden spoon. Then I put about 1/8 of a teaspoon of cranberry jelly (real jelly, like for toast, not the cranberry jelly from a can that you eat with turkey at Thanksgiving) into the indentation. The recipe I used called for berry jelly (strawberry, I think) but I thought the cranberry would be nice and winter-y, plus I really like cranberry.
Usually thumbprint cookies are made like regular cookies, flat on a baking sheet, but I decided to make them in mini muffin cups. I did this because I was bringing them into my political science class and it seemed more sanitary this way. I think they look cute this way!
