Cherry Thumbprint Cookies Recipe

Oh my this Cherry Thumbprint Cookies Recipe is my favorite I have made this year. I will be honest I have been so busy with getting ready for the holidays and cookies has been one of my main concerns. I wanted to have a nice variety of cookies put away for when we have family and friends over for the holidays. I normally make these thumbprint cookies with raspberry filling but this year I had some cherry pie filling left from our Thanksgiving meals and I did not want it to go to waste. Wow, I am so glad we bought extra pie filling. This Cherry pie filling just took these simple thumbprint cookies to a whole other level, ha ha. I think I will be making another batch for guests as I have consumed almost the whole batch. They are great with milk, with coffee, heck I think they would go great with just about anything ha ha!
