How to Make Awesome Thumbprint Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease two baking sheets and line them with parchment paper for easy cleanup and perfectly crisp cookies.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. An electric mixer works best for this step.
- Add 2 large egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Gradually add 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Roll rounded tablespoons of dough into smooth balls.
- Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Gently press your thumb into the center of each ball to create an indentation.
- Fill each indentation with your favorite jam, jelly, or preserves (about ½ teaspoon per cookie).
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
