Categories     Cookies     Dessert     Bake

Yield 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 2/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp poppy seeds
1/2 tsp salt
1 stick unsalted butter, slightly softened
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp lemon zest, grated
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup orange marmalade, or other preserves

Steps:

  • 1. Position rack in center of oven. Preheat ovean to 300. 2. Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, poppy seeds and salt in a large bowl. 3. With an electric mixer, beat butter, oil and sugar until creamy. Add in egg, lemon zest and vanilla, and beat to combine. Stir in the dry ingredients with a spoon until just combined. 4. Form tablespoons-ful of dough into balls and place on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Gently press the tip of your thumb or finger in the center of each cookie. Place 1/2 tsp preserves in each indentation. 5. Bake the cookies, one batch at a time, until the edges are lightly golden, 28-30 minutes. Immediately transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use fresh poppy seeds: Fresh poppy seeds have a more intense flavor and will give your thumbprints a better texture.
  • Toast the poppy seeds: Toasting the poppy seeds before adding them to the batter will enhance their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help the thumbprints hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a round cookie cutter: A round cookie cutter will help you create uniform thumbprints that are the perfect size.
  • Make a deep indentation in the center of each cookie: This will help the thumbprint hold the jam filling.
  • Bake the thumbprints until the edges are golden brown: This will ensure that the cookies are cooked through.
  • Let the thumbprints cool completely before filling them: This will help prevent the jam from seeping out.
  • Use your favorite jam or preserves: You can use any type of jam or preserves you like, but some popular choices include raspberry, strawberry, and apricot.

Conclusion:

Poppy seed thumbprints are a delicious and classic cookie that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite jam or preserves. These cookies are sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
