HOW TO MAKE CRANBERRY THUMBPRINT COOKIES

STEP 1

Mix everything in a mixing bowl except the cranberry jam. Cover the bowl with a lid or cling wrap.

STEP 2

Chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking.

STEP 3

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

STEP 4

Roll the dough into balls 1 inch balls in diameter. Place the balls on the cookie sheets. Leave a few inches apart.

STEP 5

Press down on each ball of dough with your thumb to make a small dent into the center of the cookie.  Fill each cookie with 1/2 teaspoon of jam.  Bake for 12-15 minutes.

STEP 6

Place them on top of the baking rack to cool down. Pop one in your mouth and enjoy!

DIET TRENDSETTERS SUBSTITUTIONS

KETO OPTION – Replace all purpose flour for almond flour. I have not personally made these cookies with them so I’m not sure how much to use. Of course, use sugar free jam to keep the sugary contents low. 

GO VEGAN – No need to use egg! You can still bake them. Just replace the butter with vegan butter. 

GLUTEN FREE – For a gluten-free option, try this recipe with gluten free flour.

STORING THESE THUMBPRINT COOKIES

You can store these in an air tight container. It’ll last for about 3 days on the counter.

I personally put these in the fridge and eat them cold. I grab a cookie after a meal and it satisfies me.
