Thumbprint Cookies Recipe
You will whip up the easy cookie dough in no time before adding the filling to the cookies and baking. Let’s have a look at the easy steps.
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
STEP TWO: Line three baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
STEP THREE: In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
STEP FOUR: In a large bowl, beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together on high speed until light and fluffy. This usually takes about two minutes.
STEP FIVE: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well mixed.
STEP SIX: Pour dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and beat just until well mixed.
STEP SEVEN: Drop rounded cookies, 1½ tablespoons in size and 2 inches apart, onto the parchment paper lined baking sheets.
STEP EIGHT: Using the back of a teaspoon, dusted in flour to prevent sticking, press back the teaspoon about halfway down into each cookie to create an indent for the jam.
STEP NINE: Using a small spoon, fill each indent with the jam of your choice.
PRO TIP:
Avoid overfilling, as the jam can overflow during baking.
STEP TEN: Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until the bottom edges look slightly browned.
