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.)
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter, sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
  3. To the butter mixture, gradually add the flour and salt, beating until a soft dough forms. Take care not to overmix.
  4. Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and set them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  5. Make an indentation in the center of each cookie with your thumb or the back of a tiny spoon.
  6. Spoon a little amount of jam into each indentation, about 1/2 teaspoon.
