Today I’m sharing my recipe for Jam Thumbprint Cookies!
Jam Thumbprint Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar, plus ¼ cup more for dusting
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup thick fruit jam
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment on high speed, beat butter and sugar until creamy and light, 2-3 minutes. Add vanilla and salt, scraping down the bowl as needed. Switch to medium-low and gently mix in flour, just until combined. Dough should be somewhat sticky. Form into a ball shape, cover, and chill 30-60 minutes.
- Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into 1-inch balls. Place dough balls on parchment-lined baking sheets or silicone baking mats. Press down the center of each ball with finger, making a deep well in the middle – deep but not too wide (it helps to hold the dough ball in palm of hand while forming the well with your finger.)
- Fill cookie centers generously with jam. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffy. Let cool 5 min. on baking sheet, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
- When cookies are completely cooled, dust with confectioners’ sugar. Store in airtight container at room temp.
