Plum Jam Thumbprint Cookies with Almonds

Welcome to Christmas Week, a multi-blogger event co-hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Jen of Juanita’s Cocina. Each day we will be celebrating a new holiday baking theme where each blogger makes a dish they love. We hope you enjoy this fabulous event. Tune in each day starting Monday December 3nd and ending Friday December 7th. Today’s theme for Christmas Week is “Cookies and Bars”. Make sure you visit all the participating bloggers today to see what special dish they whipped up for you. 

Ingredients:
1 box yellow cake mix ( I used Pillsbury Funfetti Cake Mix)
2 eggs
1/3 cup canola oil
crushed almonds as needed (about 2-3oz)
Plum jam as needed ( or any jam you prefer... strawberry, raspberry, grape, etc...)


Directions:
Mix eggs, oil and cake mix until it forms a cookie batter.  Form into round balls and roll in crushed almonds.  Place on a greased cookie sheet and press thumb into each center to make a well.  Fill well with desired jam and bake in a 350 degree oven for 13-15 minutes (or until edges of cookies begin to brown).   Allow to cool on baking sheet.  Store in airtight container. Enjoy.

Note:  I made two sizes with these cookies.  The larger cookies were about the size of a walnut ball and the small cookies the size of a large marble.    I recommend the smaller version because they are more festive and cute.
