Here after years and years. This recipe is TIMELESS. I add caramel in the center and put a candied pecan on it to make turtle cookies as well. Best cookie I have ever made.
I have made THIS exact recipe for many years and it IS the BEST !! If you have other thumbprint cookie recipes you may toss them now. It has become my all time favorite cookie . It is easy and SO delicious ! I have used many different things over the years to fill that little well with .. I even like them without a filling .. ! Straight up the BEST !
Hands-down one of the most delicious cookies I've ever baked or eaten. Too good to only make at holiday time! I usually make 10-12 different kinds of cookies for the holidays, but my husband said these were the best......ever.
Stephanie! For Christmas Last year I incorporated chopped almond bits into the dough and my family really enjoyed that. Although it was quite a few less nuts than this recipe. I think I might do half and half. I also wanted to say you do an awesome job at demonstrating and you are very thorough. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this recipe video, great instructions & close ups. I made these this morning for a "thank you" gift & doubled the recipe so I could share with neighbors. I used fruit-juice sweetened raspberry fruit spread & toasted pecans. They make an excellent presentation, well worth the effort. They are also delicious- nom nom nom!!
I just made a batch of these. I roll them in granulated sugar rather than nuts. For a filling I melted red currant jelly with Chambord (a raspberry liqueur) and stirred it until it cooled. Then I dusted them with powdered sugar when they came out of the oven. Very elegant. If you bake them without the jam in them you can fill them with anything. My favourite is Nutella!
You are the queen of TH-cam my lady 🥰 I always go back to you when I want to make something yummy and precise and not get 😡 with how, how much or is it G or lb also F or C . Thank you very very much and God bless you 💐💐💐💐💐by the way I am making this right now, I have no doubt they will come out delicious 😋 😋😋😋😋
Ok it’s me again, I just wanted to say this cookies are simple but fantastically delicious, my husband asked me where I found the recipe also said that they are really equivalent of 5 stars bakery cookies 👍👍👍👍👍👍thank you very much ✌️❤️
I made a double batch. I filled half with a really nice orange fruit spread. The other half with Marichino cherries. Waiting for them to come out of the oven now. Thank you for this recipe
Never used the egg whites before... usually roll them in nuts then roll them in my hand gently before placing them on my cookie pan to slightly inbed the nuts on my cookie. Gonna try this and see what the difference is. Thank you for all tge measurement information including weights... Love watching your recipe demos!
We love your comments however due to our busy schedule questions on the recipes may take some time. We check our Facebook page more often so if you would like a quicker answer post your question there. A link to our Facebook page is in the description above.
Thank you for this video with precise measurements and alternate methods like using a spoon instead of a piping bag...that was thoughtful and practical too.
I would make these with my mom for Christmas when I was a kid. We used wheat germ instead of nuts and a dollop of chocolate in the middle. I think I’m going to make some this year in her memory. I miss you mom.
Thank you for videoing this recipe. I watch all your videos. And a special thanks for mentioning not adding additional salt if one is using salted butter. I'm totally aware of the over-salting issues. And I out of the thousands of recipe videos or written recipes have I ever heard or saw anyone mention the recipe be over salted if you use salted butter and then add salt to the batter. Again thank you. Keep up the videos they are great. Thumbs up.
STEPHANIE FOR PRESIDENT !! AND I AM CANADIAN LOL!! YOUR VIDEOS SHOULD BE CALLED BAKING WITH STEPHANIE J SHOW EVERYTHING I MAKE FROM YOU TURNS OUT AMAZING THXS STEPHAINE
Awesome, especially to know that one can freeze them. I've never weighed mine when baking them, never thought of it, but it does make absolute sense if one wants them all to look the same. Gonna do that in future. Thank you Stephanie for all of your wisdom and info on culinary delights. :)
For some reason, I like looking at your video before I make mine. Going in the oven shortly. I like half strawberry & half mint jelly. Mint jelly so yummy plus the two look so festive. Hope you're doing well.
Joy of Baking I always weigh my cookies, I stink at "eyeing". But I do have an acceptable "range" - I don't bother with tenths of a gram. I love not having any burned or undercooked cookies!
Iam making them right now and i'm sure they'll be delicious :) i doubled the ingredients because i want to have many cookies ..thanks for sharing Big hello from Casablanca, Morocco
I made these. I used 1/4 cup almond meal and 3/4 cup flour, which was a mistake. They taste amazing, but are very fragile. I used Dark Cherry Fruit and Me from Central Market, delicious and rolled them in toasted almonds. I will try again sticking exactly to the recipe.
In a pinch once when I realized I was out of jam I reserved a 1/2 c of my pumpkin pie filling from a pie I was baking. I filled the centers with that, now everyone asks for the pumpkin version 🙄.
Hi Stephanie..I always use ur recipe for these ..this year my bottom of cookies burned a bit..never happened before..maybe because I both both sheets in same rack? Baked 13 mins...they taste really good but bottom very brown. What did I do wrong?
oh, looks so delicious!! I have to make them for this holidays! In the video you roll them into ground almonds and you said finely ground but in the picture it seems like mixed with corsely chopped and I like this better :)
These are by far my all time favourite cookies! I have a question, though. Would it be okay to freeze the cookies before baking (without jam) and then bake them in a week or so? BTW I've made them so many times using your recipe and everyone loved it.
I would like to bake my kids multigrain wheat cookie. will the cooking time time vary.you have answered all my questions earlier well on time.nvery sweet of you Thanks in in advance.
Okay, so I have some jam left over from my cheesecake-phase and I thought about making thumbprint cookies with them. Now, I liked the way you presented everything and the measurements as well. But I have a tiny question about the cookies themselves and I hope it won't be too much trouble to ask? The cookies I'd like to make, basing off of this recipe would be pretty much the same, but without the nut coating on the outside (I'm giving these as a gift, and I don't know if the recipient is allergic or not, so I don't want to take a chance). Would the bake time need to be altered if I decide to not coat the cookie in nuts? And if so, then how much time would be cut or how much time would the cookies bake then?
I have a question, i remember as a child rolling cookie dough for baton cookies with one end dipped in chocolate and non-perils. Would this be the recipe i would use for the cookie or would i use your sugar cookie recipe? Which would hold up better? Thank you so much I love this website!!!

These were one of my husband’s favorite cookies. I made some for him the week before he passed away. Sweet memories.
I'm so sorry for your loss. My condolences.
Joy of Baking Thank you so much. Very kind of you to respond. Your video brought back sweet memories. Pecans are on my shopping list.

you are the best and the desserts you made look simply beautiful you are very artistic and your patient are deeply inspiring me
Hi Stephanie! Thank you for the delicious recipes this year! Merry Christmas!
this one actually looks appetizing and beautiful
I've eaten these cookies every Christmas for at least 40 years...STILL love them❤.
Awesome, especially to know that one can freeze them. I've never weighed mine when baking them, never thought of it, but it does make absolute sense if one wants them all to look the same. Gonna do that in future. Thank you Stephanie for all of your wisdom and info on culinary delights. :)
Yes, they can be frozen.
Merry Christmas to you and yours. I really enjoy your show have learned alot about baking.
l had tried this recipe and it was so delicious , thank you so much
For some reason, I like looking at your video before I make mine. Going in the oven shortly. I like half strawberry & half mint jelly. Mint jelly so yummy plus the two look so festive. Hope you're doing well.
the video and sound are so good the cake looks so delicious
Yum! These were excellent! Thank you 🙏
tried to make it at home and it worked out well my family enjoyed it thanks for the nice recipe thinking about making it again now
You are a perfectionist. Never heard of anybody weighing each cookie. I'm way to impatient for that step. Thanks for your great vid.
rosettegarbanz The important thing is to try and get the cookies all the same size so they are finished baking at the same time.
Joy of Baking I always weigh my cookies, I stink at "eyeing". But I do have an acceptable "range" - I don't bother with tenths of a gram. I love not having any burned or undercooked cookies!
Awesome video and recipe !
You make a great presentation and explanation !
I’m gonna try to make this recipe today.
Thank you!
How long we keep in the oven..
thanks I made them n they came out great, enjoyed the step by step on how to make them thanks again
Great! I want to make this as a Christmas gift.
They look amazing
OMG, i tried out this recipe and it was the show stopper at a party!!!...Thanx a tonn..love all your recipes :*
C est bien dommage que cette vidéo soir en anglais car cette dame parle beaucoup et quand on a pas la traduction on a plus tendance à s ennuyer 😏
Like your style.......suscribed.........thanks for your shares nd expertise I'll surely make these
This is the recipe my mom uses and makes for the holiday season.
this cake looks so tempting and delicious
Iam making them right now and i'm sure they'll be delicious :) i doubled the ingredients because i want to have many cookies ..thanks for sharing
Big hello from Casablanca, Morocco
I made these. I used 1/4 cup almond meal and 3/4 cup flour, which was a mistake. They taste amazing, but are very fragile. I used Dark Cherry Fruit and Me from Central Market, delicious and rolled them in toasted almonds. I will try again sticking exactly to the recipe.
If they puff up just press the indentation down a bit when they come out of the oven (while they're still hot).
I just made this and they came out better than I thought. :)
In a pinch once when I realized I was out of jam I reserved a 1/2 c of my pumpkin pie filling from a pie I was baking. I filled the centers with that, now everyone asks for the pumpkin version 🙄.
Improvise
Adapt
Overcome
How long do you bake cookies with pie filling?????
Wow yo las prepare y riquísimas gracias me encantas tus pistres🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
omg the cake looks soo delicious it looks like the cake wore a beautiful dress
I made it adding pistachio and cardamom it was super delicious
Great recipe thanks I'm making them tommorrow
Thank you...They re very delicious....
Must do these very very soon looks delicious
Love these things. They're like little pies.
Gracias por el vídeo estoy comenzando en este negocio y me parecen muy buenas sus videos
If I bake with the Jam and give as gifts (that are being mailed and will take a few days to arrive) will those still be good and safe to eat?
Can you freeze them before cooking - put jam in then bake from frozen?
Wow this looks good am going to try it
Hi Stephanie..I always use ur recipe for these ..this year my bottom of cookies burned a bit..never happened before..maybe because I both both sheets in same rack? Baked 13 mins...they taste really good but bottom very brown. What did I do wrong?
Mam can we use clarified butter for this?
oh, looks so delicious!! I have to make them for this holidays! In the video you roll them into ground almonds and you said finely ground but in the picture it seems like mixed with corsely chopped and I like this better :)
😋 must try this. Can you show a video with coconut jam filling
I'll be waiting for thumb print cookies with the coconut jam filling
I'm sorry, but I can't say if I will be doing a video on this cookie.
Wow looking delicious.i want to eat.
why does the cookies crack too much when i cook it?
These are by far my all time favourite cookies! I have a question, though. Would it be okay to freeze the cookies before baking (without jam) and then bake them in a week or so? BTW I've made them so many times using your recipe and everyone loved it.
Yes, you could freeze the unbaked cookies.
Thanks!😍
I make these every Christmas as my mom did and my grandma did. Only we can them thimble cookies and we use a thimble to make our holes!
Hi, if you bake these unfilled, do you press in the center before or after baking? Thank you 💚
I would press the centers down both before and then after baking.
Can you tell me which brand/ model/wattage your mixer is and also is it good for kneading bread doughs as that is what I need it for the most. TIA
It is a Kenwood Chef Titanium 5 quart. It's 750 watts and very good for kneading bread. Here's a link to it on Amazon: amzn.to/3SLVgg7
@@joyofbaking Thank you so much for your answer. I will have a look at it.
Is this a Kenwood Mixer?
I would like to bake my kids multigrain wheat cookie. will the cooking time time vary.you have answered all my questions earlier well on time.nvery sweet of you Thanks in in advance.
The baking time should be about the same.
Okay, so I have some jam left over from my cheesecake-phase and I thought about making thumbprint cookies with them. Now, I liked the way you presented everything and the measurements as well. But I have a tiny question about the cookies themselves and I hope it won't be too much trouble to ask?
The cookies I'd like to make, basing off of this recipe would be pretty much the same, but without the nut coating on the outside (I'm giving these as a gift, and I don't know if the recipient is allergic or not, so I don't want to take a chance). Would the bake time need to be altered if I decide to not coat the cookie in nuts? And if so, then how much time would be cut or how much time would the cookies bake then?
The baking time would be about the same even if you don't cover them with the chopped nuts.
Joy of Baking Thank you!
How much have to weigh the mass ball??? 15 ? g 20 ? g ?
hello, what brand of mixer is that you are using? thanks
I use a Kenwood Titanium Chef 5 quart mixer.
I made these without the jam a some of them did puff back up. I think next time I'll make a deeper dent. They were delicious by the way.
Can these be made without the egg white and nuts outside ?
Yes you could do that.
Delicious!
I have a question, i remember as a child rolling cookie dough for baton cookies with one end dipped in chocolate and non-perils. Would this be the recipe i would use for the cookie or would i use your sugar cookie recipe? Which would hold up better? Thank you so much I love this website!!!
VERY CLEAN
What’s the difference using granulated sugar and brown sugar
Hi Stephanie. What brand of jam would you recommend?
Most of the time I make my own. When I buy jam I like to buy local, but a good national brand is Bonne Maman. www.joyofbaking.com/RaspberryJam.html
Okay. Thank you
That's what I use, and it's the only brand I buy now......my family insists, lol.
The nuts on the outside is just or decoration ? It's fine if we don't roll the cookies in nuts ?
Yes, that would be okay.
What brand is the mixer?
I use a Kenwood Titanium Chef 5 quart mixer.
Brava,
You khnow joy you are the best
I roll in coconut. Really good
Dont the nuts toast while baking?
Yes. Although the flavor is even more pronounced if you toast them first. But if you prefer you don’t have to toast them first.
can you just use like smucker's jelly?
Yes. You could use a jelly, jam, or preserve.
Can I mix the batter and freeze until I am ready to assemble and bake them?
thank you I Wen Chen
My fave kind of cookie
i am not gonna lie ,i cried watching this this is pure art
What is the best butter please I need to know 😫🙄
I personally like Kerrygold brand. In one of Stephanie’s videos, think she mentions that she uses the same brand.
yes it is
Looks tasty!
Could also roll in toasted coconut
good
