Day 21

Strawberry Shortbread Thumb print Cookies
(Sorry I don't have a pretty foodie picture of it but the lighting in the apartment was terrible anyway. You get the idea -- they are way better than those Knott's cookies ;-)


Strawberry Shortbread Cookies

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup seedless strawberry jam

DIRECTIONS
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a medium bowl, cream together butter and white sugar until smooth. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix in flour until dough comes together. Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Make a small hole in the center of each ball, using your thumb and finger, and fill the hole with the jam.
  • Bake for 14 to 18 minutes in preheated oven, or until lightly browned. Let cool 1 minute on the cookie sheet.
Notes: The original recipe called for a glaze, which you can see I tried in the top left and right corners of the picture, but I didn't like it so I didn't include it in mine. Also, the original called for almond extract rather than vanilla but that was a pain so I just used vanilla. =P
