cookie experiment

so... i wanted to try something using praline candy as a filling in some sort of thumbprint style cookie. nothing real revolutionary, but just thought the maple flavor of the praline would go well with a shortbread.

i tried a bunch of different variations and thought this the most successful application, but the holes could have been cut a bit cleaner and i think next time i'd keep the shape a consistent circle and leave the oats out of the shortbread. maybe pecans instead of oats, i do love pecans.
