Yield Makes about 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup (1/2 lb.) butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 large egg, separated
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups finely chopped walnuts
About 1 cup fruit jam

Steps:

  • In a bowl, with an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter, brown sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth. Stir or beat in flour and oats until well blended.
  • In a small bowl, beat egg white and 2 teaspoons water to blend. Put walnuts in a shallow bowl. Shape dough into 2-teaspoon-size balls and dip in egg white mixture; shake off excess, then roll in walnuts. Place 1 inch apart on buttered or cooking parchment-lined 12- by 15-inch baking sheets. Press your thumb into the center of each cookie to make a 1/2-inch-deep indentation.
  • Bake cookies in a 300° oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes; if baking more than one pan at a time, switch pan positions halfway through baking.
  • Carefully fill each indentation with about 1 teaspoon jam (if indentations have disappeared, make them again with the rounded end of a wooden spoon). Return to oven and bake until cookies are golden brown and jam has melted, about 15 minutes longer. With a wide spatula, transfer cookies to racks to cool completely.

3/4 pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
7 ounces sweetened flaked coconut
Raspberry and/or apricot jam

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.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the coconut is a golden brown. Cool and serve.

SIOBHAN'S THUMBPRINT COOKIES



Siobhan's Thumbprint Cookies image

Editor's note: This recipe appears as part of our editors' Christmas Cookie Swap, 10 beloved holiday recipes from the editors of Epicurious and Gourmet Live. Make sure to make a deep impression in the dough with your thumb or a small pestle, and don't overfill the hole with jam, as these cookies will flatten and spread in the oven. Also, be sure to leave plenty of room in between the dough on the cookie sheet. Use a doily as a stencil to dust the confectioners' sugar in a festive pattern.

Yield Makes about 2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup jam such as raspberry, strawberry, or apricot
Confectioners' sugar for dusting
Special Equipment
2 large baking sheets; parchment paper; small pestle

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and a second rack in the lower third then preheat to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter and sugar and beat on medium speed, scraping the bowl occasionally, until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until fully incorporated, about 1 minute. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture, and stir until just combined. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic, and chill at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
  • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and arrange on baking sheets, leaving about 3 inches between cookies. Using your thumb or the round end of a small pestle, make a well in the center of each cookie. Using a teaspoon, fill each well with jam, being careful not to overfill the wells. Bake, switching the cookies between the upper and lower racks about halfway through baking, until golden, about 15 minutes. Cool the cookies on baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Continue baking cookies on cooled baking sheets. DO AHEAD: The cookies can be baked ahead and stored, in an airtight container at room temperature, up to 3 days.

PB&J OATMEAL THUMBPRINT COOKIES



PB&J Oatmeal Thumbprint Cookies image

Wanting to improve on yet another childhood memory that's still vivid in my mind, I came up with these cookies. I've recreated many of my unhealthy childhood favorites in this book, only as healthy versions. What strikes me is how easy it is to make healthy desserts your kids will love without sacrificing taste. Instead of the hydrogenated fats and untold amounts of sugar that compromised the thumbprint cookies I ate as a kid every Sunday after church, I added naturally sweet honey, fiber-packed oats, and protein-rich peanut butter, then topped them off with fresh preserves for a tasty real fruit touch. My kids were excited when I put these fresh baked cookies in front of them, but the best part was watching Kenya react just as his mommy used to: by digging out the preserves first.

Time 1h20m

Yield about 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup old-fashioned oats (not instant and not steel-cut)
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup honey or agave nectar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup smooth peanut butter
About 2/3 cup jam, jelly, or preserves of your choice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and oats.
  • In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and honey for 1 minute on medium speed.
  • Add the egg, vanilla, and peanut butter and beat 1 minute more, or until smooth.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing to incorporate as you go.
  • Drop the cookie dough 1 tablespoon at a time onto baking sheets lined with parchment or a silicone baking mat and use your thumb or index finger to make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
  • Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of jam, jelly, or preserves. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until firm. Cool on wire racks and serve. The cookies will keep in a covered container on the counter for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats for a heartier texture.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the oats in a bowl with a fork or potato masher.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. They should be golden brown around the edges and just set in the center.
  • Fill the thumbprints with your favorite jam or jelly. You can also use chocolate chips, peanut butter, or Nutella.

Conclusion:

Oatmeal thumbprints are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With their chewy oatmeal cookie base and sweet and sticky filling, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
