CARROT SPICE THUMBPRINT COOKIES
Carrot cake is a family favorite, and these delicious cookies taste just like it with shredded carrots, dried cranberries, toasted walnuts, cinnamon and cloves. And they're topped with a rich cream cheese frosting. Who could resist? Each cookie is like eating a piece of carrot cake, but with no fork needed! —Susan Bickta, Kutztown, Pennsylvania

CARROT-CAKE THUMBPRINT COOKIES
You can have your cake and eat it, too--as a cookie! The bases for these thumbprints are studded with grated carrots, chopped pecans, golden raisins, and rolled oats. The creamy filling features fresh goat cheese (cream cheese would work in its place) and a swirl of apricot jam. The result? Layers of flavor in every bite.

PERFECT THUMBPRINT COOKIES
My mother, Pauline, made really nice thumbprint cookies, but I never wrote down her recipe. I knew the ingredients, but unless you have the right proportions, you won't get that perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture. So, I did an image search and found a recipe that looked very similar, credited to a great-grandma named Mitzi. Since my last name is Mitzewich, that pretty much sealed the deal. In case you can't decide between a shortbread-focused cookie and a more jammy one, here's how to make both.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Mix butter and powdered sugar together with a rubber spatula until creamy. Add vanilla extract, almond extract, salt, and egg yolk. Mix with the spatula. Add flour and blend until just combined.
- Use a sorbet scoop to portion dough into 1/2-ounce (1-tablespoon) balls. Roll balls in a plate of white sugar to coat; roll again between your palms. Place several inches apart on a silicone-lined baking sheet. Flatten balls lightly with your fingers.
- To make shortbread cookies with a little jam, poke a well into each cookie using the end of a thick wooden spoon dusted with powdered sugar or using one of your fingers. Fill cookies with fruit jam. Tap baking sheet against the counter to let jam settle.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tops are barely blonde and bottoms are slightly golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack before icing.
- Meanwhile, mix powdered sugar with a little milk until you have a consistency that will hold its shape when piped. Pipe icing on top of cookies in a zigzag pattern. Let sit for 15 minutes before serving.
- For a more jam-forward cookie, press your thumb into the cookies to make large, shallow indentations. Spoon in jam. Tap baking sheet against the counter.
- Bake until not quite golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let rest on pan for 5 minutes before transferring a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar.

THUMBPRINT COOKIES III
Like a butter cookie rolled in nuts with jam in the center. I make these every Christmas to give to relatives and friends. They all love this cookie! For even more flavorful cookies, try using almond extract instead of the vanilla.

- In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, sugars, yolk and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add in the flour, almond flour, salt, and spices and mix until evenly incorporated. Fold in the carrots and raisins. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Place the finely chopped pecans in a shallow dish. Using a small cookie scooper, scoop out the dough into balls, rolling in between the palm of your hands to smooth out. Coat fully in the chopped pecans and place on the prepared baking sheets, about 2-inches apart. Use the back of a teaspoon measuring spoon to create an indentation in the center of each cookie. Bake until golden brown, about 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and while still hot, press the center once again, just in case they've baked up too much. Allow to cool completely on wire racks.
- To make the frosting, cream together the butter, cream cheese and vanilla in a large bowl. Add in the sugar and cinnamon and beat until fluffy. Transfer to a piping bag, fitted with a small star tip, and pipe out into the center of each cooled thumbprint cookie. Sprinkle with any of the remaining chopped pecans. Enjoy right away or store in the fridge until ready to eat. They'll keep refrigerated for up to 4 days. Enjoy!
