Thumbprint cookies are a delightful treat that combines a buttery cookie base with a sweet jam filling in the center. They are perfect for holiday gatherings, tea parties, or just a cozy afternoon snack. The recipe below walks you through the simple steps to create these classic cookies with ease.
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother cookie dough.
- Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before shaping the cookies to make it easier to handle and to prevent spreading while baking.
- Press your thumb gently into the dough to create a well for the jam, but don't press too hard as it may cause the cookie to crack.
- Fill the indentations with your favorite jam, preserves, or even chocolate for a tasty variation.
- Bake until the edges are lightly golden for a perfect balance of soft and crunchy texture.
With just a few simple ingredients and easy-to-follow steps, you can create delicious thumbprint cookies that will impress your family and friends. Enjoy these cookies fresh out of the oven or store them for later. Happy baking!
