Yes, I bet they are! And a perfect time for them for Christmas in July, LOL. We might try it. I love the last picture with kids and cookies – they are so very cute!

I remembered reading this post before Christmas, but didn’t leave a comment back then 🙁 Thanks for interesting info! I featured it on my blog.

In reply to Mel. Yes! I have heard them called thumbprint cookies too- I'm guessing in my grandparent's time they weren't called "googly eyes" yet:).

Great post! My family called those treats, “thumbprint” cookies, and they were always a staple around Christmastime. It’s interesting to hear how people in other places are celebrating the same holidays as you. In this case, “it’s a small world after all.” 😉

In reply to jbwm. Yes! And my daughter is allergic to eggs, so we made a couple without the egg white. "Googly Eyes" are very allergy-friendly:).

My Mom made these when I was a child, and I have made them for years. They are really good with cherries or jam! You can vary the nuts you use as well. This year I made them using gluten free flour and they are delicious!
