I made these for christmas and they were very good. I used raspberry jam instead of the apricot, any flavor jam would be good.

I was a little disappointed in these cookies, seeing as they had such rave reviews. They were fairly dry and bland, perhaps I did something wrong. Also, I tried a million different ways, but I could not get the thumbprint to stay a thumbprint. And I have been very successful with different recipes in the past. The cookies rose to a ball-like shape every time, looking exactly like a bagel.

Very quick and easy to make, and they work out quite well as pressed cookies. The lemon juice and zest makes them way too tart, though. Next time I'm going to leave it out; I'll revise this review at that time.

Just ok, bland, biscuit like texture. They also get stale very quickly. Argo cornstarch thumbprint cookies have a much nicer texture and flavor.

Came out soft and good texture, but didn't taste that good. Too lemony

I used raspberry as well as apricot, these are so good. And they are pretty looking. Not very hard to make. I like the slight lemon flavor. Left out the lemon zest and added extra juice. They were still yummy.

This recipe is awesome. I rolled the cookie balls in pecans before making the thumbprint and I think it made the cookie even better. This cookie has been stealing the show from all the other cookies on my Christmas cookie trays this year.

These were more like a little biscuit than a cookie. If you are looking for something plain this is the cookie for you.

These cookies are fabulous! I don't usually make thumbprints, but after reading all the good reviews I thought I'd give these a try. I filled half with apricot preserves and half with lemon pie filling and everyone loved them. I will definitely be making these again.

This was a terrific thumbprint recipe. It was a tender dough and easy to work with. I added vanilla powder to it...1 tsp..and a pinch of salt. I found it worked best to chill for about 2 hrs. I, also, used cherry preserves with the apricot. The powdered sugar was a nice touch..like snow.

I just tried this recipe and my family loved it. I had to leave out the lemon juice and zest because my granddaughter is allergic, but I just added almond and vanilla extracts. I also made about half of them with cherry preserves. Luscious!! Merry Christmas to all! (And thanks for sharing, Mellan)

Lovely cookie, it is light and very tasty. It really did make a nice addition to the platter. I rolled some of them in coconut. I doubled the recipe and used an assortment of fillings. The cookies looked like jewels on my trays. Thanks for sharing Mellan.

These are excellent! I burned the first batch using a regular cookie sheet. They came out fine when I switched to clay cookie sheets. I used peach jam that I preserved this past summer and the cookies were fantastic!

These cookies make a lovely presentation. I tried them with both apricot & red raspberry preserves. Both were very good. After baking a few pans, I saw the suggestion to roll the dough in confectioner's sugar before baking. This made them easier to work with. I will make these cookies again.
