Jam Thumbprint Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2/3 cup jelly or jam

Directions

  1. Cream butter and sugar together. Mix in flour.
  2. Roll dough into 1inch balls and place on greased cookie sheet.
  3. Flatten each ball with a glass dipped in sugar.
  4. Use your thumb to make a little hole in the top of each cookie.
  5. Place 1/2 tsp of jam into each impression. (It is best to use a tiny amount of very thickset jam. Freezer jam tends to be too watery and dribbles off the sides of the cookies.)
  6. Bake at 170°C for 9–10 minutes or until cookies start to get just a tiny bit of golden brown around the edges.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before moving to a cooling rack. Let cool fully and enjoy!
