Jam Thumbprint Cookies

Jam Thumbprint Cookies

Diana Rattray
A butter cookie recipe with jelly or jam.

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 3 cups sifted flour, or more
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • strawberry or raspberry jam

Preparation:

Cream butter and sugar together. Add egg yolks, flour and vanilla; mix well. If dough is too soft to handle, work in little more flour. Roll dough into little balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Make a thumb print in the center of each. Fill thumbprint with your favorite jam. Bake a small first batch, and if the cookies in the first batch spreads too much, work a little more flour into the dough. Bake at 400° for 8 to 10 minutes, until light brown around edges.
Makes 8-10 dozen cookies.
