Strawberry Thumbprint Cookies
Thumbprint cookies are elegant, delicious and so easy to make. The perfect accompaniment at your next brunch or tea party. Thumbprint cookies are typically shortbread cookies that are filled with fruit jam. My version is a little non-conventional as I use a sugar cookie dough base. I'll eventually share a thumbprint cookie recipe with a shortbread base, but this is just as delicious a recipe. This is too easy and too delicious to not try.
How to make Strawberry Thumbprint Cookies:
- You'll need sugar, butter and sour cream.
- You'll also need vanilla extract, an egg and a lemon.
- Lastly, you'll need some flour, salt and baking powder.
- Combine the butter, sugar and sour cream in a mixer and mix until light and fluffy about 5 minutes. Scrape.
- Add in the egg and vanilla. Mix until combined. Scrape.
- Add in the dry ingredients and pulse until just combined. Finish folding in the rest of the flour. Mixture will still appear crumbly, but big chunks of flour shouldn't be visible.
- Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour or more.
- Use a mini ice cream scoop to scoop out two scoops of dough and form a ball. Make an indentation with your thumb, deep enough to hold the jam. Place on a pre-greased baking sheet.
- Fill with your favorite jam and bake off for 10-12 minutes. Leave the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about five minutes. Cool completely before glazing.
- Make your glaze and drizzle on top of the cookies.
- Enjoy!
