Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, so I decided to try to find a new recipe to celebrate it. There are so many different recipes for Valentine’s Day, from main dishes to desserts, but I ultimately decided to try a thumbprint cookie recipe.

Thumbprint cookies are delicious with a buttery, shortbread-like base, and sweet jam or jelly baked into the center.
