Spicy Thumbprints



When making Macarons I find myself with a large collection of egg yolks. Now I have tried to make Crème Brule with the yolks and its richness seemed to take away from the Macarons. I have also tried to make Bavarian Cream with the yolks but gelatin just freaks me out. I just wanted something simple to make with my left over egg yolks... maybe even something that would freeze well. Finally my very good friend Samantha posted her recipe for Thumbprints on her blog. Score! I found a simple cookie that is amazing even after it has been in the freezer for a while.

Since everyone has a unique finger print I thought I needed to make these thumbprints just as unique.

For my thumbprints I used Strawberry Jam and almonds. I also added a little spice by adding ¼ teaspoon (ground) of the following spices to the almonds; Cloves, Allspice, Cardamom, and Cinnamon.
