Eggnog Thumbprints Recipe

Reviewed on Dec. 31, 2008 by mrs_h

I love these so much I ate all the ones I put in the freezer frozen! No time for thawing! I did add a little extra milk to achieve spreading consistency on the icing. I first tried 2t. of milk and it got stuck when I tried to pipe it out.

Why not just use store-bought eggnog in place of the milk? That is what I am going to try.

Where is the eggnog?

Re; No egggnog in the thumbprints....real eggnog consists of eggs, milk, and rum. Seeing as how raw eggs are a no-no, then the eggnog is just milk and rum.

No eggnog as an ingredient?

No you do not have to roll in walnuts if you don't like them. I have made thumbprint cookies rolled in pecans, peanuts, or even just plain without rolling in anything. Another great filling is Nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread).

These are just Danish Thumbprint cookies with icing in the imprint. Original recipe had strawberry jam in the imprint, apple or mint is good also at the holiday time.

Honestly, I was disappointed in this recipe. Easy to make, but not a lot of flavor. Maybe jam would be a better filler for the middle.

I make these every year and use butter creme frosting in the thumb print. And, I use my thumb to make the indentation. I usually color the frosting and let the kids pipe the frostin in the centers. That way they all learn how to use a bag and tip.
