THUMBPRINT COOKIES

THUMBPRINT COOKIES





Thumbprint Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

3 heaping tablespoons powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups sifted flour

Meyer lemon curd, raspberry jam, and/or orange marmalade


Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Prepare cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Cream the butter and sugar together with a hand mixer.

Add vanilla and flour.

Mix well.

Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to scoop out enough dough to form a ball 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.

Flatten each ball on the cookie sheet and press each ball with a round measuring spoon or your thumb to form a little crater in each one.

Fill the depression with a dollop of lemon curd, jam, or marmalade.

Bake 8-10 minutes until the filling is set and the cookies are slightly browned on the edges.


Notes:

A dollop is a scientific measure. It is too. Shut up.

Okay, use a spoon to create your dollop. See if I care.
