RASPBERRY ALMOND SHORTBREAD THUMBPRINTS
This is a great recipe I stumbled across on the inside of a Land O Lakes butter box! I remember thinking that it looked good but recipes inside boxes couldn't possibly be good. Boy was I wrong. This one gets more compliments. Be sure to use real butter and roll small balls as it will help your cookies look better. The prep time does not including cooking time or cooling time.

- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies be more tender.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape better in the oven.
- Use a cookie scoop to make evenly sized cookies. This will help them bake evenly.
