Outrageously delicious jam filled thumbprint cookies that melts in your mouth
Have you tried making yourself a batch of thumbprint cookies? If you haven’t, you should probably do it soon. No I mean like right now… Get into the kitchen and start working that flour and butter! It melts in your mouth like fluffy clouds. That buttery mouthfeel is so desirable. It just feels so right! The only place they need to be right now is in my mouth!
To be honest, this is my first time making thumbprint cookies. I made it because I wanted to pair the new Chia Spread I received with something. I already tried it on toast and yogurt so the next thought was to try it on cookies and IT WORKED. GUYS IT WORKED.
Still trying to figure out the best way to get the cookies in the perfect round shape after imprinting my thumb into the cookie. I tried to use a melon baller and one of the fondant ball tools but the dough stuck to it. Not a good idea. If anybody has tips, feel free to share them. Nevertheless, ugly shape or not… We don’t really care as long as they taste awesome!

The greedy side of me couldn’t resist stealing a cookie while in the midst of the photoshoot. Those pesky fingers are always out to “steal a taste” first before starting the real work. I’m pretty sure there are a lot of guilty people with this habit as well. So I’m not ashamed.
If you’re into buttery cookies, these thumbprint cookies definitely fit the bill. Let me tell you the closest thing they taste like….Chinese New Year Pineapple Cookies. I swear they taste like that!! Those Pineapple cookies that melt in your mouth with a little tangy pineapple filling. The only difference is these thumbprint cookies are open face and you get to decide what kinda jam or filling to fill the centre.

Not a fan of buttery cookies, don’t worry. I have tons of Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies or Chocolate Speculoos or Peanut Butter Cookies that will leave you speechless because the only thing you’ll be doing is eating..
