How to Make Jelly Filled Thumbprints

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently break up 16 ounces (one package) of refrigerated sugar cookie dough.
  3. Stir in 1 cup of sweetened shredded coconut.
  4. Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls.
  5. Place the balls 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  6. Using your thumb or the handle of a wooden spoon, make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
  7. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of your favorite jam into each indentation.
  8. Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown.
  9. Immediately remove the cookies from the baking sheets and place them on wire racks to cool.
  10. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes.
  11. Place 1/2 cup of vanilla chips in a small, resealable microwave-safe bag.
  12. Microwave on high for 45-60 seconds, or until melted.
  13. Knead the bag until the chips are completely smooth and melted.
  14. If necessary, microwave in 10-second intervals until smooth.
  15. Snip a small corner off the bag.
  16. Gently squeeze the bag to drizzle the melted vanilla chips over the cooled cookies.
