Thumbprint Cookies

December 21, 2019 Leave a Comment

When I was making mustang grape jelly last summer I never really realized how happy it would make me this winter making these thumbprint cookies with jam.

These thumbprint cookies are a dense yet flaky cookies with the thick dollop of jelly center. You can use any jelly or jam you like for the center of these cookies. I thought about using some pear butter or even some chocolate in the center.

A fun craft to do with kids. The thumbprint cookie dough recipe is so easy, then all you need is a few little helpers. These two little helpers. One getting in to mischief and the other with a fake smile. {{Love}}

  • 12 Tbsp butter
  • ⅔ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups sprouted einkorn flour (2½c if using regular flour)
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp milk *approx

  • Add in egg and 1 Tablespoon of milk at a time till the dough comes together.
  • It needs to just stick when pinched
  • Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 325F degrees.
  • Scoop and roll into even balls.

  • In the thumbprint spoon a small amount of jelly. Fill only half of thumbprint with jelly.
  • Test bake 2 or 3 cookies.
  • Bake for 10 -15 minutes.

Notes

What to make your own powdered sugar? See my recipe for Powdered Sugar.
If your test cookies run or spread too much add a little more flour to the dough. If your jelly takes off and makes a mess everywhere you can try making your thumbprint deeper and/or add less jelly.

Sharing is caring!

This is me…

Well this is me...I am a homeschooling mother of 5 kiddos. I'm quite the introvert so this is a fun platform to share cooking, raising kids, herbals, essential oils, and homesteading!
