For a vegan version, you need a dedicated plant-based thumbprint cookie recipe. This recipe is the healthier version of my 3-Ingredient Thumbprint Cookies....

Miso paste has an umami flavor, a meat-like flavor that gives a savory, salty touch to dressing sauce recipes. Plus, miso has many health benefits, such as improving digestion. As it’s made from fermented soybeans, it contains many probiotics. But it’s also high in many vitamins and minerals that support bone health, like zinc, calcium, and manganese....
