Hankering for Thumbprint Cookies 👍

I'm not sure why they sound soooo good right now, but now there is some order to the kitchen again I decided to bake! 

The ingredients were on hand and the whole process simple. 

Ingredients: 

1 stick of room temp butter

1 cup of flour

1/4 cup of sugar

1 tsp of vanilla extract

1 egg

Pinch of salt 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 

Mix the butter and sugar until blended. 

Next add the vanilla extract, flour, egg, and salt. I used a hand mixer to combine everything. 

Now for the somewhat messy part. You'll roll about 1 inch balls of dough and place on an non greased cookie sheet. I kept mine about two inches apart. I've never made them, so I'm not sure how much they'll bake up. Time to put in your thumbprint! After each dough ball has your very unique fingerprint on it, it's time for the jam. I used strawberry jam. Don't over flow the dent or your jam will spill over while baking! 

Place these little fellas in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. 

WAIT! For them to cool before you eat one! The jam will be lava in your mouth!
