KITCHEN厨房日记: Thumbprint Cookies with Jam Filling

The title sounds cute, Thumbprint Cookies – Cookies that have the baker’s thumbprint! That’s because a small well is made in the middle of cookies by pressing with thumbs. And believe me, it’s not easy to shape the dough.


Just like other cookies recipe, cream butter & sugar, then add egg yolk, vanilla extract, flour and pinch of salt. Mix them well to form dough and cool it in fridge for 30 minutes. Then, roll them into balls and arrange them on baking tray. [TIPS: I line the baking tray with aluminium foil to avoid cookies sticking on it. You can use a non-stick baking tray, or lightly greased the tray.]


Press lightly with your thumb in the middle of the dough to form a well. Be patient, press softly and if the dough break/fall apart, just shape them back. Fill the well with your favorite jam and bake for 12 minutes. I think you can replace jam with honey, chocolate, cream or anything else that you like.


I rate these cookies for 99.9%! And I am happy to share them with you 2. ^^
