Prep time:
30 minutesCooking time:
15 minutesThese pretty cookies can be filled with any flavor of jam or fruit preserves. It's a great recipe when you are looking for a way to use up those nearly empty jars in the refrigerator.
Ingredients
Serves 40
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 sticks butter
- 1 cup sugar, divided
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raspberry or cherry jam
Directions
1
Mix flour and salt in a small bowl. Beat butter and 1/2 cup sugar until fluffy in a large bowl with a mixer set at medium speed. Add flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time. Chill dough until firm, about 20 minutes.
2
Preheat oven to 325°F. Spread remaining sugar on a small plate. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in sugar. Place 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.
3
Bake cookies just until firm, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven. Make a deep indentation in center of each cookie.
4
Fill indentations with jam. Return cookies to oven. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes longer.

You will get a perfect- size \"thumbprint\" in every cookie if you use a thimble to make the indentation.
Great Pairings
Chocolate-Raspberry Torte
Raspberry jam typically costs far more than other fruit jams. Save money by using strawberry or cherry jam in this recipe. The torte will taste like a chocolate-dipped strawberry.
