Easy Jam Thumbprint Cookies

Thumbprint cookies are a simple, richly buttery cookie much like shortbread cookies. They are however even more tender (like butter cookies) thanks to the egg yolks in the dough and also the jam which slightly soaks in and creates more softness.

They have a unique texture differing from most other cookies because of this.

You can use just about any flavor of jam. The most commonly used are raspberry jam, strawberry, apricot, or peach. You can't go wrong with blueberry, blackberry or fig either.

I think you'll appreciate the fact that they use so few ingredients (only six plus salt) and they are fun and easy to make. Though a small and humble cookie they are also such a pretty cookie with a purely delicious taste!

These are a delightful treat that can be adapted to include other flavors, other fillings and even can be rolled in various coatings before baking (see ideas below).

A simple cookie that proves old fashioned favorites are often the best!
