Cheesy Thumpprint Cookies With Bourbon Tomato Jam

This has quickly become a favorite go to recipe for getting together with friends and families. This is a very easy dish today and flavorful. I have found when making this that the bourbon jam makes more than needed. I serve the rest on a block of cream cheese with crackers and it gets gobbled up right away.
