Jam biscuits, also known as thumbprint cookies, are a delectable treat with a buttery biscuit foundation and a sweet jam filling. They’re simple to make and go well with a cup of tea or coffee. Here’s a straightforward recipe for jam biscuits:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour – 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter – 1/4 cup granulated sugar – 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract – 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Your favorite jam (strawberry, raspberry, etc.)
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter, sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- To the butter mixture, gradually add the flour and salt, beating until a soft dough forms. Take care not to overmix.
- Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and set them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Make an indentation in the center of each cookie with your thumb or the back of a tiny spoon.
- Spoon a little amount of jam into each indentation, about 1/2 teaspoon.
