These buttery thumbprint cookies are full of flavor from the jam. I like to drizzle a basic glaze over my cookies but that's optional.
I love a good, soft, melt in your mouth thumbprint cookie. They're tiny yet so delicious! It makes a great small treat.
Thumbprint cookies are very popular for the holidays so I knew I had to bake a batch for my cookie box! I use strawberry jam because that's my all-time favorite jam.
However, you can use any jam you want. Any will do! Depending on how soft you like your cookies it will depend on the baking time.
If you like super soft cookies bake them for 20 minutes, if you like them just baked (and a little crispy) bake them for 25 minutes.
