Since it’s the month of love, nothing says I love you more than some sweet, delicious, and cute thumbprint cookies!

Salt cup margarine, softened cup sugar, or sweetener of your choice 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract cup assorted jams for the filling Optional: Powdered sugar Directions: 1.

Add softened margarine, sugar, vanilla extract, and almond milk to another bowl and mix. 4. Slowly add in the flour/salt mix and combine until a dough is formed. Be careful not to over-mix. 5. Scoop out a half tablespoons worth of dough and roll into a smooth ball. Place all dough balls about 1 inch apart. 6. Make the indent by using your finger (the thumbprint mark). Fill each indent with jam, but be careful not to overfill. 7. Bake for about 13-15 minutes or until barely lightly golden. 8. Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar. (Recipe adapted from veganhuggs.com)
