Double Thumb Print CookiesÂ
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup-1/3 cup cherry jam or preserves or raspberry preserves
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375. In a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Beat until mixture is combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg, milk, and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer and then stir in any remaining flour.
- Shape dough into 3/4 inch balls. For each cookie on an ungreased or parchment lined cookie sheet place two dough balls side by side with one side touching. Press thumbs into each ball to form an indentation in each. Press in center of each with thumb and taper bottom of cookie with fingers to form a heart shape. Repeat with remaining dough balls, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes or until edges and lightly browned. Remove from oven and transfer cookies to a wire rack. While warm, fill each indentation with jam or preserves. Cool completely. Makes approx. 30 cookies.
