Introduction

Thumbprint Cookies – Super easy cookies that are fun to make and tasty to eat!

Ingredients

  • 220g plain flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 170g unsalted butter
  • 100g caster sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Strawberry or raspberry jam

Method

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 180°C/160°C fan assisted/gas 4 and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
  • 2. Using an electric mixer, beat together butter and sugar just until it looks creamy.
  • 3. Mix in the egg and vanilla.
  • 4. Add the flour and salt and stir in until you get a soft dough.
  • 5. Scoop a bit of dough and gently roll it in your hands to make a small ball about 2½ cm across. Place on the baking sheet. Do this for all the dough. Make sure to leave at least 4 adult-sized fingers between each cookie because they will spread while baking.
  • 6. Wet your thumb and press to make a little dip in each cookie.
  • 7. Spoon about 1 tsp of jam into each dip.
  • 8. Bake cookies until golden brown around the edges, about 13-15 minutes.
  • 9. Leave to cool on baking trays on wire racks, then enjoy!
  • 10. Tip: For something special, while cookies are still warm, sprinkle each cookie with mini white chocolate stars.
