We had the soup last night with turkey sandwiches. Today I did not get up until noon. Jim thought I was dead. The soup was really good. We had enough left over for tonight. Today was pay the bills day. After that I mad Cranberry thumbrints Cookies. It is a way to use up the cranberry sauce. But they are not great, but OK.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Ifyou have chunky sauce, break it down in your food processor.
- Beat 1 C unsalted butter amd 3/4 C packed light brown sugar together in the bowl of a standard mixer until smooth. Stir in 1 t vanilla extract. Add 2 1/2 C flour, 3/4 t cinnamon and ground allspice plus a pinch of salt. Stir in 3/4 C pecan pieces.
- Form dough int 11/2" balls and set 1" apart on a greased baking sheet. Use your thumb to press a well into center of each cookie. Spoon about 1/4 t sauce into each well. Bake cookies until light golden brown 12-15 minutes.
They are OK, not great. However I forgot the cinnamon and ground alspice plus the pinch of salt. Should not cook when I am tired and depressed. I lost a good friend to brain cancer yesterday. Sally was the smartest person I have ever known.
