A little about myself!!!

As you can see my name is Hayley Jones. I am 23 years old, a college student, and I was an aspiring pastry chef, I am now working on becoming an College Math Professor! When I was working on being a pastry chef I was going to culinary school so I learned many great recipes and techniques and tricks with food so feel free to ask any questions and ask for my rendition on any recipes; also, feel free to ask any food questions you may have. Yes, I understand that I am not Ina Garten, Paula Deen, or Bobby Flay; however these people receive thousands of letters and e-mails on a daily basis which makes them hard to get a hold of, and you may not get a response. With me you can get a response. Thank you all for supporting my efforts!

The goal of my blog is to get rid of the fears of following our dreams, it's a worth-while journey!

Thumbprint Cookies!

Sorry it has taken me a while to post on my blog... I have been busy and with the start of school, and I have also been trying to find a good recipe to post. So here is one!  Thumbprint Cookies! These are cookies that I have loved since I was a little girl, and where you can truly become creative with what you have lying around the house!   Adults this is a great thing to do with your kids as well!  I did not come up with this recipe so I do have to give a shout out to the beloved Paula Deen for this recipe in her cookbook: Paula Deen's Kitchen Classics! Which is a combination of two of her cookbooks: The Lady & Sons Savannah Country Cookbook and The Lady & Sons!  I made these for my friends and they were a huge hit so it finally hit me that I could have a great blog post!  True to Paula's nature they don't just have 1 stick of butter but try... 3!!!! That's right 3 sticks of butter altogether in these cookies! I think that is what makes them so delicious!!! LOL! I love you Paula Deen!

Thumbprint Cookies!

3 Sticks Butter, softened
1 C Granulated Sugar
2 Egg Yolks
2 3/4 to 3 3/4 C AP Flour (depending on the humidity)
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract
Any Preserves that pleases you!


1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream together the butter and sugar.
3. Add Egg Yolks.
4. Sift Flour and salt; blend into butter mixture.
5. Spoon out into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet.
6. Make an indentation in center of cookie with thumb.
7. Fill with your favorite preserves... only 1 tsp. per cookie will suffice.
8. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly and Enjoy!!! :-)


I love making these cookies and to be honest I have even used nutella in these cookies which is good but have about three large glasses of milk on the side for just one cookie! LOL! I hope you love these cookies as much as my family, friends, and I do! Thanks for reading and sorry for the delay!!!
