How to Make Gluten Free Thumbprint Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  7. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Use your thumb to create an indentation in the center of each cookie.
  9. Fill each indentation with your favorite jam or preserves.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
