Cream together the butter and sugars. Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla. Stir in the dry ingredients. Roll the dough into balls and make a dent in each ball. Fill the dent with jam and bake.
Recipe Variations
If raspberry jam is not…your jam…you can mix these cookies up with your favorite flavor. Use strawberry jam to keep them festive, or try them with grape, blackberry or apricot.
How long do they keep?
Once the cookies have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container with the layers separated with parchment. They will keep for 3 days at room temperature or up to 6 days in the fridge.
Can you freeze them?
Yes, these thumbprint cookies freeze well. I prefer to flash freeze them on a baking sheet and then transfer to an airtight container. That way they don’t stick together when they freeze. Thaw the cookies for an hour or so at room temperature before enjoying. If you make this recipe be sure to upload a photo in the comment section below or leave a rating. Enjoy!
