How to make Easy Glazed Shortbread Thumbprint cookies (No Egg)

Melt-In-Your-Mouth Cookies made in no time at all. One minute glaze and less than 10 minutes to put together the cookies. After chilling for about an hour, the cookies are baked to perfection in just 14-16 minutes.

Note: These cookies will spread out a little and look whitish even when well baked. Don't over-bake. If they turn brown, they are going to be hard.

Oven temperatures vary. Newer models may have a shorter bake time. So watch them closely. Take them out and let them cool till they are firm. They will come out soft, airy and fragile when you take it out of the oven. When cool they are nice and just the right consistency.

Also, wait till cookies are well cooled to put the glaze. The glaze is optional. If you don't want extra sweetness, leave out the glaze.

You can use the shortbread cookie recipe for plain cookies or add nuts, chocolate etc in place of a jam center.

Happy cooking!

Thumbprint Cookies (Classic Version) - Joyofbaking.com

Recipe here: Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make Thumbprint Cookies. Thumbprint Cookies are a very popular holiday cookie. They are made with a shortbread-like dough that is formed into balls and then rolled in either finely chopped nuts or dried coconut. The name 'thumbprint' comes from the fact you use your thumb to make an indentation into each ball of dough and then fill it with jam.

Hi, I'm Katie Roseness and today I'm making Linzer Cookies.

So to make things even easier, I'm taking the same sugar cookie dough that I made earlier and I cut out stars and I also cut out the same stars with a smaller cut-out right in the center just like our stained glass cookies. So one is going to fit right on top of the other.

So any type of jam that you like. I'm using strawberry. But it can't get simpler than this.

I'm just going to take a spoon and dot it right in the middle. And you don't have to worry too much about moving it out to the edges because once the other cookie goes on top it's going to do all the pushing out for you. So the whole cookie will be filled with jam.

The same thing, just a couple more.

And then with my sugar sifter, I have powdered sugar and I'm going to coat the tops of my cookies with powdered sugar. And you want to be generous. You really want to cover the top.

And then very carefully with your fingers, you don't want to mess the sugar up and you don't want to mess up your sweater, but just on the edge of the cookie, hold it and push down on top of the other. Try to get ones that are about the same size.

Beautiful.

And that's how you make Linzer Cookies.
