Classic thumbprint cookies filled with jam are wonderful, but my family absolutely LOVES it when I make these Caramel Thumbprint Cookies instead! In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, softened butter and egg until soft dough forms. We took the classic buttery, filled shortbread cookies and subbed in brown sugar for the usual white, and a pool of salted caramel sauce instead of jam for the centers. Try to stop after just one!
