So a couple of weeks ago I made my first thumbprint cookies, I know Americans will be surprised but in the UK cookies are not made as much as here, we are more of a cake nation. But America should be proud of its cookie making abilities I have so enjoyed all the blog posts on holiday traditions passed down through the generations. I got this simple recipe, simple is good for me ;-) from Amanda's Cookin she is a talented baker and also does amazing crafts and is a great voice in the blogging community.
Ingredients:
- 3 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/3 cups unsalted butter, softened (not melted)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 egg yolk
- a dash of vanilla
Method:
- combine all ingredients and refrigerate for one hour
- then take out and add little balls to a cookie sheet (Amanda used a cookie scoop didn't even know they existed he he)
- use to thumb to make an imprint bake at 375 for 10 minutes
- then remove add fillings of your choice, I used strawberry jam and lemon curd and bake for a further 5-7 minutes
I was surprised at the amount of butter in here thats the dietitian in me and they seemed a little greasy but after they cool, it keeps them soft and moist :-)
Go ahead help yourself :-)
Hugs Rebecca
