don't know about thumbprint cookies, but i think the kids would like this. i seen a article in a mag. at the book store the other day. (wife showed it to me) anyway, the cookie dough was cut out in the shape of the kids hands, decorated, and cooked. sorta like eating the hand that feeds ya i guess.
