Thumb Print Cookies- An Ultimate Indulgence!!!


B
uttery short bread cookies filled with jam is a a perfect dessert for any occasion. It's a hit among friends and family. These are perfect holiday treats which can be gifted to friends.

I baked these cookies along with my kids and my 6 yr old was very excited to fill the cookies with jam. As most of my friends know that, we have moved to our own space, to meet and greet our neighbors,  I baked these cookies.

These cookies are so easy to make and just needs a handful of ingredients which is easily available in your pantry. These cookies can be baked within 30 minutes and because of jam, this becomes a super hit among kids. I filled these cookies with strawberry and blueberry jam, you can use any jam of your choice and it won't go wrong.


Make sure that while shaping the balls, it should be smooth and firm, or else the cookie dough can crack (like mine). Some recipes call for adding the jam after baking the cookies, but adding the jam pre baked will be nice and warm and bakes into the dough. Hope you all will try this recipe and if so, let me know. So, lets get started..



Ingredients:

  1. All Purpose Flour- 2 Cups
  2. Corn Flour- 1/r4 Cup
  3. Salt- a Pinch
  4. Butter- 1/2 Cup
  5. Eggs- 2 
  6. Vanilla Essence- 1tsp

Method:

  1. Sieve the all purpose flour, corn flour and salt. Keep it aside.
  2. Meanwhile beat the softened butter and sugar. Add the eggs and beat till creamy.
  3. Add the above mixed flour mixture into batches and mix till it forms a smooth dough.
  4. If it feels sticky just keep this dough in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, mine was perfect so started to shape them into balls and place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
  5. Use your thumb to make an indentation into each ball of cookie dough. Spoon 1/2 tsp of jam on each of the indentation.
  6. Bake for about 10- 12 minutes or when the bottom turns light brown. Remove and cool completely and enjoy the jam filled cookies.
