JAM THUMBPRINT COOKIES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until they are just combined and then add the vanilla. Separately, sift together the flour and salt. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix until the dough starts to come together. Dump on a floured board and roll together into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. (If you have a scale they should each weigh 1 ounce.) Dip each ball into the egg wash and then roll it in coconut. Place the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet and press a light indentation into the top of each with your finger. Drop 1/4 teaspoon of jam into each indentation. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the coconut is a golden brown. Cool and serve.

Yield Makes 8 turnovers
Number Of Ingredients 5
Steps:
- On a lightly floured surface roll out each sheet of pastry into a 12-inch square and cut each square into four 6-inch squares. Put 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cream cheese in the center of each square, top it with 1 1/2 tablespoons of jam, and brush the edges of each square with water. Fold the squares in half diagonally to form triangles, pressing the edges together firmly, and press the edges with the tines of a fork to seal them well. Arrange the turnovers on a dampened baking sheet, brush them with the egg wash, and with a sharp knife cut several slits (for steam vents) in the top of each turnover. Sprinkle the turnovers with the sugar, bake them in the upper third of a preheated 425°F. oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden, and serve them warm.
Tips:
- For a crispy turnover, use puff pastry that is cold and firm. If the pastry is too soft, it will be difficult to work with and the turnovers will not be as flaky.
- If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the pastry.
- To make sure the turnovers are sealed properly, use a fork to crimp the edges.
- For a sweeter turnover, sprinkle some sugar or cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
- If you are using fresh fruit, be sure to drain it well before filling the turnovers. Otherwise, the turnovers will be soggy.
- Bake the turnovers until they are golden brown. If they are underbaked, they will be doughy and if they are overbaked, they will be dry.
Conclusion:
Jam turnovers are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick snack or dessert. With a variety of fillings to choose from, there is sure to be a jam turnover that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give jam turnovers a try!
