This, to me, is the best thumbprint recipe on the site. I've tried several, and was always left with bland, blah cookies. I followed the recipe to the letter, except 1.) I added an egg, and 2.) I chilled the dough before baking because I had run out of kitchen time. The almond extract is key in this recipe, and brings the otherwise 'meh' shortbread to life. I will never be a huge fan of plain butter cookies, but these are the best of this site's offerings.

Simply amazing flavor! I love this recipe, and have successfully made the following changes: I substituted 1/2 c. of unsweetened applesauce for 1/2 c. oil; I added 3 c. of zucchini; I made muffins instead of loaves.

A quick and easy favorite of all the neighborhood kids. They keep amazingly well, even during dry, winter months.
