I love these cookies! They're so easy to make and the end results are just fantastic. They make your whole kitchen smell like sweet, buttery heaven! My only change to this recipe was adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough, which yielded very tasty cookies. I used both apricot and raspberry preserves to fill in the thumbprints. I must say I do like the raspberry best! These little cookies are very pretty too, looking like precious jewel-topped cream-colored morsels. I have already made a few batches, and I will be making these again and again. Thanks for the recipe, Crandall!

I followed this recipe exactly; WOW! It was just fantastic! It was creamy and had a wonderful vanilla flavor to it! I will probably use a little less sugar next time, perhaps a 1/3 of a cup. Otherwise, this recipe is definitely in my permanent list of desserts. It was incredibly easy and incredibly quick, and the end results were both satisfying and yummy! You can't go wrong with this recipe. I finished the panna cotta off with a raspberry preserve/water mixture and spread the sauce over it. My family was impressed! I will take the advice of some of the other reviewers as well and use real whole vanilla beans next time for an even more impressive presentation!

I followed this recipe exactly. I made these for my mom and she absolutely loved'em! Thanks for the wonderful recipe, Shellie!
