Possibly. My sister is pretty sure it is a thumbprint cookie dough, but I have not yet tried to re-create the recipe so cannot say for sure. If it was a sugar or thumbprint cookie, it was not as sweet as any of those cookies are. I think that's why she is thinking thumbprint, because those generally include a filling so the dough is not as sweet as a cookie that has to stand on its own.
