Hello!
I’ve been making these for years. I’ve never used powdered sugar and butter combination. I just happen to find your recipe style, looking for the best way to get the powdered sugar to adhere to the cookies. I can’t wait to try this method!
I been looking all over for thumbprint cookies that don’t flatten out when I bake them. My grandmother made these at Christmas time but no where can i find the recipe. These are just like hers… Perfect!! Thank you for sharing your recipe!!
