Jam-Filled Thumbprint Cookies

Jam-Filled Thumbprint Cookies are a classic treat that everyone loves. These cookies are perfect for any occasion, whether it's a holiday party or a simple afternoon snack. With a buttery and crumbly texture, these cookies are filled with your favorite jam, making them a delicious and sweet treat.

To make these Jam-Filled Thumbprint Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup jam (any flavor)

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg yolks and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
Fill each indentation with a small spoonful of jam. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Once the cookies are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Jam-Filled Thumbprint Cookies are a perfect combination of sweet and buttery flavors. The jam filling adds a burst of fruity flavor that complements the cookie's crumbly texture. These cookies are perfect for any occasion and are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
