Recipe
Makes about 3 dozen cookies
Prep Time: 20 minutes, plus setting
Cook Time: 12 to 14 minutes
Ingredients
¾ cup (175 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
⅔ cup (140 g) granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1¾ cups (260 g) all-purpose flour
¼ tsp salt
1 cup (250 mL) fruit jam, stirred (you can use an assortment of flavours if you wish)
1½ oz (45 g) white chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
2. Beat the butter and sugar by hand until smooth and a bit fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla and then stir in the flour and salt.
3. Scoop teaspoonfuls of dough into your hands and roll into balls between your palms, then place on the baking trays, leaving 1½ inches (3.5 cm) between them. Use your thumb (or even better, the knuckle of your index finger) to press a fairly deep imprint into the centre of each cookie. (Dip your thumb or knuckle in water to keep it from sticking.) Drop small spoonfuls of jam in the indentation of each cookie and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until they just begin to show a little browning at the edges. Cool the cookies on the trays on cooling racks.
4. Melt the white chocolate in a small bowl placed over a small saucepan filled with 1 inch (2.5 cm) of barely simmering water, stirring gently until melted. Pour the chocolate into a parchment cone or use a fork to drizzle the white chocolate over the cooled cookies.
5. Let the cookies sit for an hour or two to set the chocolate. The cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or can be frozen (without the white chocolate drizzle) for up to three months.

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.

Chocolate Bourbon Filling:
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature (226g)
1/3 cup sugar (70g)
1/3 cup light brown sugar, tightly packed (70g)
1 large egg yolk
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cup all purpose flour (280g)
2 teaspooons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar for rolling (optional)
1/3 cup jam or preserves flavor of your choice -- I used raspberry preserves for this recipe (105g)
Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:25 Place butter in the bowl of a stand mixer (you may instead use a large bowl and an electric hand mixer) and beat until creamy.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add sugars, and beat, gradually increasing mixer speed to medium-high until ingredients are well-combined (about 30-60 seconds).
Add egg yolk and vanilla extract and beat well.
01:44 In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt.
02:16 With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients until completely combined. This dough will seem very dry and crumbly, so be sure to pause occasionally to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. If it starts to strain your mixer you can use your hands to finish working the dough together.
02:56 Scoop cookie dough into 1 Tablespoon-sized balls and roll very well (so that the dough is round and there are no cracks/seams in the cookie dough -- this will help keep your thumbprints from cracking).
Roll in granulated sugar (if using) and place on a wax-paper covered plate or small cookie sheet. Use your thumb or the rounded back of a teaspoon to gently press an indent in the center of the cookie dough. Repeat until all of the dough has been used.
Transfer cookie dough to freezer and chill for 30 minutes.
04:54 Once dough is done chilling, preheat oven to 375F (190C) and place your jam in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat briefly (about 5-10 seconds) or until jam is not hot but is no longer firm and is easy to stir.
Spoon jam into each thumbprint, filling each indent to the brim.
06:05 Once oven is preheated, place cookies at least 2 apart on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and bake on 375F (190C) for 11 minutes or until edges are just beginning to turn golden brown.
Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet before enjoying.
