    For me they didn't take very long to cook 13 min was good. I didn't add the Chambord and just used the jam and it worked just fine. I also drizzled some lemon icing (1 cup of powdered sugar a good big squeeze of lemon juice and lemon zest over the cookies and it was a delicious touch.

    These are very tasty. Mine were done at 15 minutes, glad I checked on them throughout.

    Easy and fun to make! Love the combination of lemon and raspberry! A great tea cookie. I agree with other comments that balls should be a modest inch as they spread out when cooked and they look much prettier as a smaller cookie. Cooking time is dead on at 16 minutes.
    Wonderful -- will add to my cookie repertoire.

    These were delicious! I used cherry jelly instead of raspberry because I like cherry better. Maybe I would increase the lemon zest by 1 or 2 more teaspoons so I could taste it better. Also, I probably would use my thumb to make the indentation. This was one of my favorite cookies I made for Christmas.

    Question!!Sound delicious...I want to make them for the holidays but I have one question. Do you think it would be good if i rolled them in sugar before i maked the thumbprint?

    These are SO good! Baking time was perfect at 16 minutes and I doubled the lemon because you couldn't taste much the first time. Rave reviews on my cookie exchange - a definite keeper!!

    Excellent recipe, BUT the balls should NOT be a whole inch! More like 1/2 to 3/4 inch. You want your index-finger depression to be surrounded by maybe a 1/4-inch dough ring. And make the depression deep, almost to the cookie sheet. Then you'll get cookies that look like the picture. And they're so flavorful compared to most thumbprint cookies, with the lemon zest and brandy!

    Awesome cookies. Easy to prepare, tender and delicious! A holiday staple in our house. I use a small trigger scoop to portion each before rolling to form a ball.

    This recipe is so awesome! My friends LOVE this cookie recipe so much until I make the dough and keep it in the refrigerator so that I may just throw some together on demand. Plus, it is a great holiday activity to get the children in the kitchen. My cousins love to press their thumbs into the dough. Thanks Emeril! Super delicious!
