Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 I made these cookies for giving as gifts. Instead of cherry preserves, I pressed half of a whole candied cherry into the top of the cookie. Very festive looking with the red and green candied cherries. Cherry-Poppy Seed Twinks 1 cup powdered sugar 1 cup butter or margarine, softened 1 tsp. vanilla 1 egg 2 cups all purpose flour 2 Tbsp. poppy seed 1/2 tsp. salt cherry preserves Heat oven to 300 degrees. In large bowl, beat powdered sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg; blend well. Stir in flour, poppy seed and salt; mix well. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. With finger, make imprint in center of each cookie. Fill each imprint with about 1/2 tsp. preserves. Bake at 300 for 20 to 25 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheets. 2 1/2 dozen cookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Great idea. Sounds beautiful. I love thumbprint cookies too, so I might try it both ways.
