In addition to adding Judy's Nut Balls from Mimi and the Salty Peanut Butter Toffee Cookies from Charlie because of all the raves over them, I also tried and was very pleased with Chocolate Dipped Espresso Shortbread from Fine Cooking Cookies and Thumbprints from King Arthur Cookie Companion.
I slightly changed the Shortbread ones, using roasted cocoa nibs instead of the espresso because that is what I had on hand and they turned out wonderful! I also dipped in milk chocolate because I am a milk chocolate junkie.
The thumbprints were so good because of the nut flour included in the batter and some really good homemade black raspberry jam tucked in the thumbprint.
