Thumbprint Cookies
Buttery, moist and simply delicious. These are great cookies for holiday parties, baby showers, cocktail parties or just have a party so you can make these scrumptious treats! Makes 2 dozen cookies.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of butter (2 sticks or 8 ounces), room temperature
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups of flour
- 3/4 cup of Skylake Ranch Pomegranate Fruit Spread
- Parchment paper
Directions:
-
Cream the butter and sugar on high speed for about 3 minutes.
-
Separate the eggs. Add the yolks and vanilla extract to the butter mixture.
-
Add the flour and salt. Mix until just combined. Place the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes and preheat the oven to 350F.
-
Roll the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on parchment lined cookie sheets.
-
Press down with your thumb to make a small well in the center of the cookie. Do not press too hard or the cookie will fall apart. Fill with 1/2 teaspoon of Skylake Ranch Pomegranate Fruit Spread.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until slightly firm. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet to firm up before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Tip: If you don’t want to use your thumb, (I have big thumbs so the cookies just don’t look as petit as they should) us the bottom of the 1/2 teaspoon. It makes a perfect circle for the fruit spread to go into.
