Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 batch Basic Vanilla Cookie Dough
1 batch Chocolate Cookie Dough
1/2 cup raspberry jam
3/4 cup chopped pistachios or sanding sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Roll dough into 1-inch balls, then roll in finely chopped nuts or sanding sugar, if using. Arrange on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing each 1 inch apart.
  • Press a well into the center of each using your finger. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 7 minutes. Remove from oven, and press well again with handle end of a wooden spoon. Bake until firm, 7 to 9 minutes more.
  • Let cool completely. Spoon jam filling into thumbprints.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use freshly squeezed orange juice and zest.
  • If you don't have orange juice, you can substitute it with milk, water, or even yogurt.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it is easy to handle.
  • For a fun twist, try filling the cookies with different jams or preserves, such as strawberry, apricot, or blueberry.
  • If you don't have a cookie press, you can use a spoon to shape the dough into balls and then flatten them with your fingers.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking, as this will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • If you want a softer cookie, bake them for a few minutes less.
  • For a crispier cookie, bake them for a few minutes longer.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before filling them with jam or preserves.
