Hello everyone. I want to share a fun and yummy project today. I love baking treats for my friends & family and dressing them up in pretty packaging to share.
These thumbprint cookies are so yummy and can be filled with any of your favorite jams. I filled ours with seedless raspberry jam from Smuckers. (See the end of the post for the recipe).
I made this box to package a few goodies.
For the front of the box I used Pimiento Crinkle Wausau Paper and then layed two damask snowflake die cuts (Papertrey Ink). On top of that I layered a punched scalloped circle (Oriental Trading Punch) and a 1 1/2 inch circle die cut (Papertrey Ink). I stamped an image from Papertrey Ink's 2011 Holiday Tags stamp set in Jenni Bowlin Cough Syrup ink.
Cookies all packaged and ready to share. I added a couple of Hershey's Kisses, too. Yum!
