These are such a delight to bake and I can guarantee you wonโt be able to eat only one!๐
I have used 3 different kinds of jam for the filling- raspberry, blueberry and mango. ๐๐๐
๐Preheat oven to 350F or 180C
๐Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper
๐Mix dry ingredients - flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl with a whisk
๐Beat butter and sugar for a few minutes 2-3)
๐Add eggs and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat 1 more minute
๐Fold in dry ingredients slowly. Work with your hands to make a soft dough that is not sticky
๐Form small ball, flatten slightly, then with your thumb, press in to make a thumbprint. Donโt go too deep or else jam will leak out from the bottom when you bake. Go about half inch deep.
๐Fill with different kinds of jam or even one kind. Any type will do.
๐ Note: I used 3 kinds of jam and took some out in 3 different bowls. Taking 3 small spoons I stirred the jam for a minute or so to warm and loosen so they fall easily into the cookies. Or they will be slightly coagulated.
๐Depending on your oven, bake 12-14 minutes or until cookies are slightly golden.
๐Cool in baking sheet fully.
Enjoy๐๐
