An Easy Thumbprint Cookie Recipe

Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, tightly packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • raspberry jam

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, mix the egg, brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, vanilla, and salt together until combined. You can use a mixer or a wooden spoon.

  3. Once everything is mixed, slowly add your flour in batches until a dough forms. Don’t add everything at once -- that will make a mess and make the dough tough to stir.

  4. Using a tablespoon, scoop spoonfuls of dough from the bowl and roll them into balls.

  5. Place the balls on the cookie sheet about 1-2 inches apart.

  6. Press your thumb gently into the middle of each cookie. Fill each indentation with the raspberry jam.

  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.

  8. Let your cookies cool completely before indulging.
