Raspberry Jam-Filled Thumbprint Cookies

I just love this little crunchy cookies! They are easy to make by your kids :).

You can substitute raspberry jam with any other jam or Nutella.

Ingredients:

• 300 grams 00 flour
• 200 grams cold butter, unsalted
• 100 grams icing sugar
• 2 large egg yolks
• seedless raspberry jam (around 0.5 jar)
• seeds from 1 vanilla pod
• 0.5 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
• thick lemon icing

Method:

1. Combine the flour, vanilla seeds, almond extract, sugar, butter, lemon zest. Do it quickly.

2. Wrap the dough in cling film and keep it cool for at least 1 hour in the fridge.

3. Preheat oven to 180 C.
4. Shape dough into 1-inch balls.

5. Make indentation in centre of each cookie with thumb (edges may crack slightly).

6. Fill each indentation with about 1/4 teaspoon jam.

7. Bake cookies until golden-lighten brown (13-18 minutes).

8. Drizzle thick lemon icing (made from 100 grams icing sugar and little lemon juice) over cold cookies.
9. Eat cookies when the icing is set.

Smacznego :)
