Classic Raspberry Jam Thumbprint Cookies

Christmas Thumbprint Cookies are delightful, bite-sized treats that make a perfect addition to your holiday baking list. These classic cookies feature buttery, melt-in-your-mouth dough with a sweet and tangy raspberry jam filling nestled in the center. They’re simple to make and add a festive touch to any cookie platter, making them a favorite among family and friends during the holiday season.

Cooking Steps Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make for easy cleanup.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the unsalted butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and brown sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Add the Egg Yolk and Vanilla: Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to verify everything is mixed properly.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This will help evenly distribute the leavening agent and maintain a smooth texture for the cookies.
5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed. Continue to mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
6. Form the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
7. Create Thumbprint Indentations: Use your thumb or the back of a measuring spoon to gently press down in the center of each cookie ball to create an indent. These will hold the raspberry jam.
8. Fill with Jam: Using a teaspoon, fill each indent with raspberry jam. Be careful not to overfill, as the jam may bubble over during baking.
9. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
10. Cool: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Dust with Powdered Sugar: If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for an extra festive touch before serving.

Enjoy your delicious classic raspberry jam thumbprint cookies! They are sure to be a hit during the holiday season.
