Thumb Print Cookies

Ingredients

1 c. unsalted butter, softened

2/3 c. powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 tsp. salt

1 egg yolk

2 1/4 c. all purpose flour

Jam of your choice 

Directions

Preheat oven to 340 degrees

Cream together butter and powdered sugar.  Add the egg yolk and vanilla.  Gradually add the flower and salt and mix lightly with a hand mixer until well incorporated.

Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball.  Place cookie dough balls on a parchment lined baking sheet.  Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon then make a small imprint with your thumb or a small measuring spoon.  

Fill each imprint with jam, allowing room for it to expand and not overflow.  Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Enjoy!
