Egg-Free, Milk-Free Thumbprint Cookies, optionally Gluten/Wheat-Free*

by Kathy Przywara

These were one of my grandmother's favorite Christmas cookies!  I remember being in her tiny kitchen and helping her roll the balls and make the thumbprints in them. If I was as slow as my own children are when helping, I'm amazed she was not totally exasperated!

This was one of the "must-have" cookies that I've needed to make allergy-friendly.  This Thumbprint Cookies recipe is egg-free and dairy-free.  I use my Brown Rice Flour Mix to make them Gluten/Wheat-Free.*

Usually, I roll them in plain sugar, but we decided to use colored sanding sugar this year.  They look so fun and festive on a cookie plate!  We used homemade apricot jam as the filling.  So yummy!
