Since the Holidays are right around the corner...

I don't know about you ladies but Fall kicks off my baking Obsession LoL! I bake all the time and I LOVE baking stuff for the Holidays... Does anyone have any good fall/ holiday recipes they would like to share?

I make jelly drop (thumb print cookies) every Christmas. It's been a tradition in my family forever and since my grandmother is getting older, I decided to take over for her


Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:

* 1 1/2 cups butter, softened
* 1 cup sugar
* 3 egg yolks
* 3 cups sifted flour, or more
* 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
* strawberry or raspberry jam

Cream butter and sugar together.
Add egg yolks, flour and vanilla; mix well.
If dough is too soft to handle, work in little more flour. Roll dough into little balls.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Make a thumb print in the center of each.
Fill thumbprint with your favorite jam.
Bake a small first batch, and if the cookies in the first batch spreads too much, work a little more flour into the dough. (This step is really important)
Bake at 400° for 8 to 10 minutes, until light brown around edges.
