The first time I had a thumbprint cookie, I was in elementary school and my mom had this little cookbook for kids. That was so cute with these darling little graphics of kids cooking almost precious moments style. Remember those little kids that were so popular? The only problem was the recipe turned out dry and boring.
I’ve been hesitant to share a thumbprint cookie ever since, but this one is absolute perfection and it’s almost like a cross between a sugar cookie and a melt in your mouth butter cookie. I prefer to use a seedless jam, but do whatever you’ve got on hand. My extra touch? A little drizzle of white chocolate and making the indents into the shape of a heart really takes these to the next level for Valentine’s Day.
