| Thumbprint cookies!! Beautiful little cookies with jam dots in the middle, they look festive and melt in your mouth. 2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup butter softened 1/2 cup white sugar for mix 1/2 cup sugar for rolling the dough balls 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 raspberry or cherry jam 1. Mix flour and salt in one bowl. 2. Beat butter and 1/2 cup of sugar in another larger bowl until light & fluffy 3. And vanilla extract, mix well 4. Add flour mixture to butter mixture, slowly, until soft dough forms. 5. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 20 mins. Preheat oven 325* 1. Put some white sugar on a plate. Roll dough into 1 inch ball, roll in sugar. 2. place balls about 2 inches apart on UNGREASED cookie sheets. 3. BAKE for 5 mins. 4. Remove cookies and make a little 'thumbprint' in the middle of the cookie. You can use the back of a spoon. Fill the hollow dip with a bit of jam. 5. Return cookies to the oven, and bake for another 10 minutes or when they become light brown. Place on wire rack until completely cooled (yeah right..I always burn my mouth because I cannot wait!  )This may sound like a lot of work, but the process goes quickly. They are so worth the little effort! Enjoy.  I make a double batch always. I use half for thumbprint cookies, and the other half of the dough I sprinkle with crushed candy canes and bake. peg |
I really like thumprints too.  I have one - a holiday drop cookie with pecans (chopped), maracino cherries and pineapple. Unfortunately I'm at work.  so, I can't get the recipe. These are a soft cookie that gets better as they age...if they make it that long! |
| mmm the thumbprint cookies sound great! I wish I still had some homemade jam to use. |
| I like peanut butter and mini Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. Yummmmmmm |
| ^^ I just made some. I think my favorite/best changes every year b/c i bake so much. I do find at all the gatherings we go to (from church, mommy groups, family, etc) that the traditional classics that are plain go the quickest despite someone saying they may like your specialty cookie. I made cookies from several different countries last year and they all tasted good...but they're not cookies people binge on. They just took a few, complimented on the uniqueness and/or how pretty they looked ...and people generally move right back to the cookie they have all year round (sugar cookies, chocolate chip, snickerdoodles). I find those cookies ...people binge on ..again, even if they only complimented you on the cookie they had 1 of. This year ...my go to is a mint cookie. Looks pretty (b/c it's green), so dang addicting, and it takes 10 min. to make. But I still will have to wait and see what the verdict is with people eating it on Christmas! I've made 4 batches (b/c I ate the first 2 that I was going to give away!!) |
