Raspberry Almond Shortbread Thumbprints image

These cookies always turn out so well! Everyone is amazed that they were home-made and not from the local grocery stores. ( And they taste as good as they look!). No one can eat just one! I always get asked to bring these to special events. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!
