Apricot Jam Thumbprint Cookies

These apricot jam thumbprint cookies are among the simplest to make. Though simple, however, they are particularly delicate, soft, and delicious. The sweet-sour apricot jam completes this dessert, enhancing its goodness.

They are great for the holiday table and children will simply adore them; adults may enjoy them with a hot cup of coffee.

Ingredients
 
 

Ingredients

  • 200 g butter
  • 350 g flour
  • 100 g powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2-3 tbsp cold water
  • apricot jam
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tbsp milk for glazing

Instructions
 

How to make APRICOT JAM THUMBPRINT COOKIES:

  • Mix the flour with the powdered sugar and make a hole in the middle.
  • Add the cubed butter and salt and start kneading with your fingertips until you get a sandy dough.
  • Add the egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of cold water, then knead til you get a homogeneous and non-sticky dough. If the dough is too stiff or crumbly, add a little more cold water.
  • Divide the dough into 2 equal parts, wrap in cling film, and then refrigerate for an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to medium heat (180 degrees C or 355 Fahrenheit) and line a large baking tray with baking paper. This quantity of dough will make 2-3 trays of cookies.
  • Take a piece of dough from the fridge and form balls the size of a walnut (smaller). Flatten them slightly in the pan and make an indentation in the middle.
  • In each indentation, put a little apricot jam.
  • Brush each cookie with egg yolk diluted in a little milk.
  • Put the tray in the oven and bake for 14-15 minutes until nicely browned. Do the same with the rest of the dough until it is all used up.
  • The cookies can be stored for several days in a cool place in an airtight container. We tend to run out quickly.
  • Enjoy!
