  1. I leave out the nuts use sugar crystal and Hershey kisses or miniature peanut butter cups
     
  2. I loved this cookie dough. However, I am only giving it four stars because your ingredient list is incomplete. You left off the egg white, chopped nuts, and jam. I skipped the egg white and chopped nuts, so my cookies are a little non-traditional, but still taste good, and I filled the cookies with black cherry and blueberry jam. By the way, two dozen cookies took just about 10 oz of jam.
     
  3. I wanted a richer dough than you normally get with thumbprints so that I could make some with and without nuts. These are very tasty and moister than the others I've tried. Great recipe, Chef OG!
