How to make Jam Thumbprint Cookies? Christmas Cookies Recipe

Here's a simple and easy recipe for making Jam Thumbprint cookies which not only look good but taste great as well. Great for sharing with friends and family, as food gifts for your neighbors, school teachers or just bake them for Santa this Christmas season.

I have used a simple cream cheese cookie dough to make these cookies but you can use other cookie dough recipes as well.

Ingredients:
1/2 Cup melted unsalted butter
1/3 cup cream cheese
1/2 tsp baking powder
1.5 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1.5 cup all purpose flour
1 large egg
2-3 tbsp your favourite Jam

Method: Mix butter and cream cheese. Add baking Powder, egg, sugar and vanilla. Whisk together and then add flour. Combine to make the dough. Once the dough is ready, chill it for 30 mins. Roll out some dough balls. Press them with back of measuring cup to have round cookies. Make identation in the middle with your thumb. Add a bit of jam in the centre and bake at 375 F for 8-10 mins.
Cool and then pack in the boxes to give out as gifts or enjoy them with a cup of Chai Tea.
