Thumbprint Cookies
Thumbprint cookies are the perfect blend of buttery richness and sweet indulgence, ready in just 45 minutes. With a prep time of 30 minutes and a quick 15-minute bake, they’re ideal for last-minute gatherings or a cozy afternoon treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 cup almond flour, spooned and leveled
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temp
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- ½ cup raspberry and/or apricot jam
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours and salt.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter, sugar, vanilla, and almond extract until fluffy. Gradually add the flour and mix until combined.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of the dough, roll into balls, and place on the prepared baking sheets. Gently press down to form disks and use your thumb, or the back of a 1 teaspoon measuring spoon, to make an indentation in the middle of the cookies. Spoon ½ teaspoon of jam onto each cookie.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly browned. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
