Usually, when people ask me what my favorite food is, I have a hard time answering. I mean, there are just so many options to choose from. When it comes to pretzels, mustard, and cheese, well, those are pretty much everyday necessities in my book. I need those three things just to survive. However, when it comes to foods that cause me to sing a little ditty and do a wee enthusiastic happy dance, deviled eggs, chocolate eclairs, shrimp and grits, fried chicken, hush puppies, creme brúlée, and fried calamari would all be on the list. Picking just one of those foods as a favorite just wouldn’t be right. Now, if you were to ask me what my favorite type of cookie is, that’s a whole other story. Without any hesitation, the answer will always be a thumbprint cookie. They’re buttery, flaky, crunchy, and can be filled with just about anything. I love that they are so versatile, and because of that, I never get tired of experimenting with new recipes for them. Below, you’ll find a list of some of my favorites, however, if you CLICK HERE, you can also find a list of all of Faith, Hope, Love, & Luck’s past thumbprint cookie recipes. All I ask is that you please don’t force me to pick a favorite from the list. There’s just no way I could do it. They’re like my little cookie children, and I refuse to play favorites.

Suggestions:

  • I used Bonne Maman Mixed Berries Preserves for these cookies, however, you can use any brand or variety of mixed berry jam, jelly, or preserves in this recipe.
  • I used Pure Orange Extract from Penzeys in this recipe. You can find it available online, or look for a similar orange extract in your local market’s spice aisle.
  • Drizzle the glaze onto the cookies with the tines of a fork.
  • If your glaze is too thick to drizzle, add another teaspoon of water.
  • When storing the cookies, place a piece of waxed paper between each layer of cookies to prevent the cookies from sticking to one another.
  • This recipe will yield approximately 2 1/2 to 3 dozen cookies.

Improvements:

  • Add orange zest to the glaze or the cookie dough.
  • Sprinkle poppy seeds on top of the glaze.
  • Add a little bit of ground cinnamon to the cookie glaze.
  • Play around with different varieties of preserves.
