Raspberry Walnut Thumbprint Cookies

We're back again with some thumbprint cookies. Except these ones have more sugar ;) 

I'll let you be the judge but I think these might be even tastier. If you are looking for a healthier raspberry thumbprint cookie, check out our earlier post. 

It's always a challenge to make an indentation within these cookies without having them fall apart but it's a challenge that I will rise to meet when the reward is tasty cookies!
