Place unwrapped caramels or caramel bits in bowl. Add butter & milk. Microwave 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Fold in nuts. Form into mounds on parchment paper. (I use a melon baller).
Melt chocolate (I use both dark chocolate & white chololate) and drizzle over mounds.

Karikas' THUMBPRINT COOKIES
1 Cup Butter - I used margarine 2 Cups Flour 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar 1/4 Tsp Salt 2 Eggs Separated 1 1/2 Cup Chopped Nuts 1 Tsp Vanilla
Mix butter, sugar, vanilla, and egg yokes together. Stir in flour and salt. Roll into 1 inch balls. Dip gently into slightly whipped egg whites, then roll in nuts. Place 1 inch apart on cookie sheet. Bake in 375 degree oven for 5 minutes - take out of oven and carefully (hot) press thumb into each cookie. Bake 8 - 10 minutes longer - depends on oven and size of cookies. Put jelly of choice into thumbprint. I used walnuts, and gluten free flour. Bobs Red Mill Gliuten Free. Also recommend 1/2 tsp of zanthan gum for each cup of flour if gluten free. _________________________________________________

1 ¼ C unsalted butter, room temp 2 ½ C sugar 6 large eggs, room temp
3 C King Arthur all-purpose baking flour – already includes baking soda/powder/xanthan gum, etc. ½ tsp baking soda - only if using regular flour, otherwise omit for gluten-free ½ tsp salt – only if using regular flour, otherwise omit for gluten-free
1/3 C fresh lemon juice zest of 4 lemons 1 tsp vanilla ½ C sour cream ¼ C whole milk
I C dried (rehydrate with boiling water and drained) or fresh pitted cherries
½ C sugar
¼ tsp vanilla
2C powdered sugar
Juice of 2 lemons
Pam for baking
1. preheat oven to 3500 2. Pam or butter/flour your bundt pan (10+ cup) very well 3. make the sour cherry puree 4. zest all those damn lemons 5. crack eggs into bowl, remove any shell 6. Sift flower into separate bowl 7. beat butter in stand mixer on high for 2-3 minutes; slowly add sugar in three batches, beat for another 7-8 minutes until very fluffy 8. lower mixer speed and slowly add eggs, one at a time, until each is well-incorporated; scrape bowl as needed 9. in yet another bowl, mix together with a fork, the lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, sour cream and milk 10. turn mixer to low and add flour by one-thirds, alternating with the wet lemon mixture, don’t over mix 11. now this is where I mix a cup of the batter and a couple tablespoons of the sour cherry puree together and paint the inside edges/ridges/indentations of your cool bundt pan to get a designed effect…this was cool on the rose bundt mold, lots of “petal” areas.. 12. slowly add the rest of the cake mixture to the pan and smooth on top. 13. I put all bundts on a cookie sheet in the oven, there’s almost always overflow.. 14. bake for approx. 55-60 minutes, check with tester, don’t overbake. 15. remove from oven and let sit 5 minutes, then unmold to cooling rack, if it feels like it’s sticking, give it another 5 minutes 16. cool cake completely before glazing or powdering -------------------------------------------------------- Jacqui's Easy Buckeyes
