Fun fact when I was 18. I just figured a few things out and I mixed what I wanted together like butter, eggs and flour with sugar and made them perfectly fine. As long as you have the consistency of dough they most likely will taste great
Made these last week and they were so incredibly buttery tender and yummy! All the steps and techniques that you shared here helped made it impossible to eat just one! The only slight change was after rolling it in sugar and creating the thumbprint indention was leaving it in the freezer for an hour. And the structure was perfect for adding 1/4 teaspoon of strawberry compote into the center. I found the sweet spot for me was to let the outer part cook til it had an exterior crunch, but the middle w filled w the jammy middle. Was EXACTLY how I had hoped it to be and can't wait to try it out next w a raspberry-strawberry compote filling! If anyone is on the fence of trying it out, definitely go ahead and do it! Just WONDERFUL!!
Normally I don't post but I saw a how to on thumb print cookies and followed a famous TH-cam baker channel (P.K) and followed exactly as instructed. It came out pretty bad, I jumped into this episode and followed through and came out beautifully! Dough was not cracking as other recipe . Thank you! I also made the chocolate chip cookie recipe from yours. They came out amazing! Thank you ❤
I baked them today and they turned out absolutely delish .All the tips and tricks u shared were spot on !!’ They looked beautiful and they tasted divine !, thank u so much …….if U”ve been looking for a great recipe u don’t have to look any further , try it u won’t be disappointed
For my grandmother's cookie like this, which she called Bird Nest Cookies, we would roll the cookie dough ball into egg white, then into flaked coconut. After that, she'd make the thumbprint. I'm going to try this recipe soon, hopefully before Christmas.
Thumbprint cookies are my favorite, I just made them for my first time today using this recipe I used marionberry filling which is amazing marionberry is one of my favorites so it complemented it perfect
Once again another PERFECT recipe from you!!! I made these tonight along with your peanut butter blossoms and everything came out soooo perfect and beautiful!!! I will only be going to your channel from now on for my recipes. ☺
My grandmother made these to add to her Christmas cookie trays so so did I. I fill half with a red preserve and the other have w apple jelly colored green. 😀
Hi from HI! I enjoy watching your TH-cam videos and all the delicious desserts you bake! I noticed in your thumbprint cookie recipe instructions, you creamed the butter first before adding the sugars. And in other recipes, you cream the butter and sugar together (which I always do). Does it make a difference and/or depend on what you're baking? Thank you!
I made these cookies because they're so Christmasy and remind me of my mom. What I didn't expect was how much they would be haggled over and practically coveted by the young adults in our household!
Melt in your mouth delicious. The cookies also came out great! Seriously, we made this exactly as listed and they were light, and delicious. We filled ours with apple jelly, strawberry and fig jam. Try apple jelly sometime -amazing!
I bought a box of these a few days ago and they are so delicious I want to bake some myself this Christmas🎄 Hopefully with a nice hot cup of glogg to go with it!🍵
I rolled the dough balls in the sugar. After they were baked, the sugar melt and spread out. Although I used the spoon to smooth out the edges, they still had the rough edges. Is this a common problem when rolling dough in the sugar?
I made these & the cookies were delicious I used the Smuckers brand Raspberry Jam I don't know why but I did not like the taste of the jam it tasted real cheap like from the dollar tree what do you recommend I should have used or which brand did you use? My mom enjoyed it though.
This is a weird question I know, but does the filling spill out if you position it sideways? For instance, if you wanted to display them at an angle, stacked against each other.
I typically try to save them for other baking that I have to do but sometimes I just don’t have anything to use them in. They are also great for making meringue cookies. 😊
Won’t the jam burn on top and taste burnt if we add them before baking? I hope you see this comment and reply as I will be making them for the holidays and would like to avoid the last minute disappointment.
Looks delicious Sam..you always have such delicious recipes..awesome job!what do you do with all the stuff you make..do you give them away?btw your hair looks cute on you pulled to the side like that
Thank you Mystique! My husband and family do the heavy lifting when it comes to eating! I really appreciate your kindness. The world could use more people like you. 😃
That should work just fine. The centers will puff up when baking, so within a minute or two of the cookies coming out of the oven, you will want to make that indent again. 😊
It may be a little difficult to do by hand. You need the butter to be creamed pretty well. The batter gets pretty thick towards the end so it would be quite the arm workout but it’s worth a shot. Let me know how it goes. 😊
@@SugarSpunRun Getting back to you -- they came out great! Oddly enough, it worked! The batter was very moist. (Not sure if it was the butter I used or the lack of creaminess) but the taste and look was fab. It was my first time making these cookies. Thanks for the video! You've got my subscription!
Just in case you wondered, if you leave out the cornstarch because you're a numpy, you get flat cookies with holes in the middle where a pool of gooey jam has stuck to the pan. I told my husband he could have the entire first pan full. He looked like a dog at a barbeque when someone accidentally drops a burger. It was almost worth the loss. LOL
You can certainly save your whites if you choose to, I just don't eat eggs too often. Alternatively you could use those egg whites to make meringue cookies! ☺
I made these for a church gathering & added a little almond glaze . They were so good . Thank you for your recipe. Merry Christmas
That sounds absolutely delicious! Merry Christmas to you as well! 😊🎄

I appreciated the reasons why you did what you did. For ex. adding cornstarch.. it definitely helps to understand why things happen!
Thank you for the feedback! I’m so glad it was helpful. 😊

Hi !!! ..Can you use oil instead of butter? How much oil?
I rolled the dough balls in the sugar. After they were baked, the sugar melt and spread out. Although I used the spoon to smooth out the edges, they still had the rough edges. Is this a common problem when rolling dough in the sugar?
Great recipe! Simple and delicious 👍🏾
i made this cake for my birthday and it is very tasty
Glad you liked them 🙂
I made these & the cookies were delicious I used the Smuckers brand Raspberry Jam I don't know why but I did not like the taste of the jam it tasted real cheap like from the dollar tree what do you recommend I should have used or which brand did you use? My mom enjoyed it though.
You can find good ones at a local farmers market, or try an organic jam. Some people like to use the brand Bonne Maman.
@@SugarSpunRun Ok thank you I'll give it a go with a different brand of Jam
This is a weird question I know, but does the filling spill out if you position it sideways? For instance, if you wanted to display them at an angle, stacked against each other.
It will still be tacky to the touch, but this filling in particular should solidify enough to store at an angle. :)
@@SugarSpunRunThanks.
I made these today, and they’re delicious!! They’re super buttery and crisp 😋😋😋😋 A+++
I’m so glad you enjoyed them so much! 😊
Yummy recipe!! I loved itt
I'm so glad you enjoyed them! :)
Is there anything else I can use besides cornstarch? I just realized I don’t have any 😩
A little extra flour should work here. :)
Can you let the cookie dough chill in the freezer overnight? Or would it go bad?
You can let it rest in the refrigerator overnight. 😊
Thanks for great recipe! Btw:. Why throw out egg white? Just add to next omlette or scrambled eggs for protein boost, go zero waste! Win-win!
I typically try to save them for other baking that I have to do but sometimes I just don’t have anything to use them in. They are also great for making meringue cookies. 😊
Won’t the jam burn on top and taste burnt if we add them before baking? I hope you see this comment and reply as I will be making them for the holidays and would like to avoid the last minute disappointment.
If baked according to instructions you should have no issues with burning. 😊
The only sugar I’ve got is brown sugar, I wonder if this will work out?
Looks delicious Sam..you always have such delicious recipes..awesome job!what do you do with all the stuff you make..do you give them away?btw your hair looks cute on you pulled to the side like that
Thank you Mystique! My husband and family do the heavy lifting when it comes to eating! I really appreciate your kindness. The world could use more people like you. 😃
@@SugarSpunRun thanks Sam..your a doll!
did this today was delicious and fun to make thanks
Glad you liked it!!
Can I freeze the dough in advanced then let it thaw out just a bit where its just cool enough and then make the thumb indents to fill them in?
To reduce the risk of cracking I recommend making the thumbprint before freezing.
Do you fill the cookies with jam before or after baking?
I show you in the video. :)
I love this recipe! My cookies came out perfect. Thanks for sharing
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed them. 😊😊
this gives me only good vibes theres nothing wrong with this video its perfect
Glad you like it!
I am making them and I am doing a chocolate peanut butter filling a salted caramel filling and strawberry jam filling.
That sounds AWESOMEE!!!
Is this a dough you can another kind of cookie with?
This is really designed for thumbprints, but I have a lot of other cookie recipes. If you are looking for one in particular I may have it. :)
Thank you😊
You're welcome 😊
Could you bake them without adding the jam first? And fill after they're baked?
That should work just fine. The centers will puff up when baking, so within a minute or two of the cookies coming out of the oven, you will want to make that indent again. 😊
About how many cookies do you get with that recipe ?
About 24. 😊
I'll b trying these
I hope you love them! :)
these look so amazing
Thank you!
Love these cookies, thank you for your delicious recipes. Happy Holidays!
Thank you very much! Happy holidays! 😃
Will salted butter work?? I only have salted
Salted butter will work, just omit the salt. 😊
wow absolutely tasty and delicious
Thank you!
I was planning to make this today , then my mixer broke. What brand of hand mixer are you cooking?
This blue one is a KitchenAid, but my favorite hand mixer is made by Hamilton beach.
Want to eat them right now so good
Is the cookies supposed to be soft or crunchy
I made this but it came out soft not crunchy
They are not supposed to be crunchy so it sounds like all went well. 😊
I don't have a hand mixer, will I still get the same texture if I use a spoon?
It may be a little difficult to do by hand. You need the butter to be creamed pretty well. The batter gets pretty thick towards the end so it would be quite the arm workout but it’s worth a shot. Let me know how it goes. 😊
@@SugarSpunRun Much thanks! I'll start it now.
@@SugarSpunRun Getting back to you -- they came out great! Oddly enough, it worked! The batter was very moist. (Not sure if it was the butter I used or the lack of creaminess) but the taste and look was fab. It was my first time making these cookies. Thanks for the video! You've got my subscription!
That’s awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed them. Thanks for your feedback. Happy baking!
Great tips! My cookies turned out similar to yours, thank you. Maybe I'll try the gingerbread cookies next.
Wonderful! I hope you love them too ❤️
How many cookies do you usually get out of this recipe?
About 24. :)
Just in case you wondered, if you leave out the cornstarch because you're a numpy, you get flat cookies with holes in the middle where a pool of gooey jam has stuck to the pan. I told my husband he could have the entire first pan full. He looked like a dog at a barbeque when someone accidentally drops a burger. It was almost worth the loss. LOL
The cornstarch helps prevent these from spreading too much, so yes, definitely don't skip it next time 😊
That explains my awful looking cookies, thank you!!!
Have you ever rolled the dough in egg whites and then in finely chopped walnuts or pecans?
I am not sure you would need the egg white. You should be able to roll the dough balls in finely chopped nuts right after rolling.
Awesome
Can I make this eggless?
Hmm I’m not quite sure how you would do that here. I’m sorry😔
How many cookies does this recipe make?
It will make about 24 cookies. :)
Thank you this recipe is amazing
Thank you these are amazing . Question do you think I can fill with Nutella ?
Yumm!
Could I use one stick of butter?
It won’t work with just one stick unless you cut the recipe in half. 😊
Sugar Spun Run oh ok thank you so much 😄
Oh yummm ! Thank you for sharing xo
I hope you love them! They are a holiday favorite in my house! 😃
Yummy
thank you!
Hope you love them 😊
no cream cheese ?
Nope!
Tradução em português
My cookies spread a lot :/
Oh no! That's a bummer! Did you weigh your flour?
@ I did. Weighed it all but the few things a weight wasn’t given for. Technically I had 2 or 3 grams extra butter if that did it?
@ if it helps still very tasty but super crumbly. Not sure if that’s normal for these cookies
Walking the strip in Hollywood all i see is cookies California When iam down town New York sugar cookies everywhere you walk
girl u lost me ,why toss the white, add the white to scramble egg in the morning. i hate to waste FOOD.
You can certainly save your whites if you choose to, I just don't eat eggs too often. Alternatively you could use those egg whites to make meringue cookies! ☺
