Liv’s Jam Thumbprints

I have this adorable granddaughter whose favorite cookies are Jam Thumbprints, a recipe handed down from my family. These cookies are made with vanilla, almond extract, butter, and powdered sugar. It’s the powdered sugar and slight almond flavor that give them a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
