Strawberry Thumbprint Cookies
Thumbprint Cookies are a classic Christmas cookie. They are delicious and easy to make.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup Butter 12 Tbsp/ a stick and half
- ½ cup of sugar
- 1-3/4 cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup strawberry jam
- ½ tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Cream butter and sugar together till well combined.
- Add the vanilla extract then add flour and mix till it comes together in a ball. About a minute.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 30mins
- Bring out from refrigerator after 30mins then mold into 1 oz balls. Then smoothen the balls.
- Indent the balls with your thumb (see pictures in post.)
- Scoop about 1/2 -1 tsp of strawberry jam into the indents.
- Bake in the oven for 15-18 mins ( until the edges begin to brown)
- Let cool then enjoy.
Notes
- I like to measure the balls to make sure they equal so they bake evenly but you can eyeball it or use a table spoon.
- Allow the cookie some cooling time before digging in. Because the jam can be really hot.
