Grandma's Raspberry Jam Thumbprint Cookies
I want to share with you a cookie recipe that is very near and dear to me: my Grandma's Radio Cookies, AKA Thumbprint Cookies.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 1/2 cups flour you may need to add a little more to make them roll easy
- raspberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and beat.
- Mix in vanilla.
- In a separate bowl (or in the same one if you're like me) mix flour, baking powder and salt.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients until well incorporated.
- Roll into 1-inch balls. I dip my fingers in flour to make this easier.
- Place on a cookie sheet, put a thumbprint in the center, and fill the thumbprint with Raspberry jam.
- I prefer store-bought jam because of its high sugar content and the way it makes the cookies chewy.
- Bake at 350° F for 12 minutes. Watch them closely. If they start to brown, remove them from the oven. They taste best when they are a little soft.
