Fig and Cherry Thumbprints

Well I made it through the first week of school alive. Hallelujah! Classes are pretty good, no dreadful ones this semester (like Health Psychology last time!). For a bit of perspective here's what I'm taking in this FINAL SEMESTER during my undergraduate career:
Anthropology Capstone (the cumulative Anth course);
Primatology;
Human Biology Lab (bones, bones, bones);
Gender and Communication;
Digital Photography;
and I'm a TA in Ethnography (research, how I love you)!
Oh and a ton of fun activities with Anth Club!

It's about to get crazy! BUT don't fret, dear friends, I will keep baking!

So to kick off the semester, I made some thumbprint cookies, since I have some delicious jam! 

Fig Butter and Cherry Jam! YUM

Here's the recipe!

Man, oh, Man! 

These hit the spot! 

I sure needed something sugar-y and carb-y, and these are perfecto!

Fancy some Cherry?

Or some Fig? (I think Sir Isaac Newton would be proud!)
Get it, Fig Newton?

Both kinds are super delish, and my roomie (who doesn't typically go nuts for thumbprints) and she really liked these! These ones taste just like fancy Fig Newtons!! 

Well I best get back to my Primate reading! And listening to my new Mika CD, which is fabulous and you all should go check it out!!

Have a great weekend! 

Vi Ses,
