Time 55m

Yield 72 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Assorted jams (orange, raspberry, grape and/or strawberry), for filling
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Beat the butter, granulated sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add half of the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, then mix in the remaining dry ingredients. Knead a few times by hand to bring the dough together.
  • Roll teaspoonfuls of dough into balls and place about 1/2 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Make an indentation in the center of each ball with a small measuring spoon or the back of a pen. Fill each indentation with jam (a scant 1/8 teaspoon).
  • Bake until the edges of the cookies are golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool 2 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired. Store in an airtight container up to 1 week.

I'm not a huge fan of thumbprint cookies, but these were actually really good. The dough was nice and crumbly, and the jam filling was tart and flavorful.

These cookies were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more butter next time.

I had trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. They spread out too much in the oven.
