Peek-a-Berry Boos aka Thumbprints

I don't know why, but when I'm Pregnant I craaaave these. Also yummy in non-pregnant states. Scrumptious with tea. We also refer to them as "thumbprints" because of how we make the depression with our thumbs. I asked my mom for the recipe and here's what she sent:
