Jam Thumbprint Cookies
Classic Jam Thumbprint Cookies are buttery, nutty, and just the right amount of sweet, with that little pop of jam in the middle. They feel like something your grandma might have kept in her cookie tin “for company.” Whether it’s the holidays or just a random Tuesday, these are the kind of cookies that disappear fast.
