Christmas Thumbprint Granola Cookies
Christmas cookie game changer! Try this delicious twist on the traditional shortbread thumbprint cookie. These chewy PB&J cookies are baked with our peanut butter granola which adds an amazing texture that pairs well with the sweet fruit jam!
Let's face it, Christmas cookies are a staple around the holidays! It's no secret that we're a little obsessed with cookies 😉. So why not bring something different to the cookie table this year? The subtle, salty peanut butter adds the right amount of flavor to the cookie. One of the awesome things about thumpbrint cookies is that you can make the filling anything you want! We chose rasperry and apricot jam, which were a hit! However, you could do any other flavor, or a chocolate kiss in the middle as well. Enjoy & Happy Holiday Baking!
