CHOCOLATE-TOFFEE THUMBPRINT COOKIES
These chocolate cookies have a festive burst of Christmas sprinkles on top, but they're even more than meets the eye! HERSHEY'S cocoa and HEATH milk chocolate toffee bits get folded into Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix for a tender, chocolaty dough that's studded with bursts of crunchy, buttery toffee. And where traditional thumbprints get a filling of jam in the middle, these indulgent treats get a dollop of silky chocolate ganache, easily made with HERSHEY'S milk chocolate chips, butter and cream. They'll spruce up any cookie tray, but it's the taste and texture that'll have your guests raving.

TOM THUMB COOKIE BARS
I am uncertain of the origin of the bar cookie recipe, but I know it was a favorite when I was growing up. My mom always used walnuts, but any nut that you choose would be good. They can also be made without nuts, if you prefer.
