Preparing the Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. 2. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. 3. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Shaping and Baking

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). 2. Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 3. Use your thumb or the back of a small spoon to make an indentation in the center of each ball. 4. Fill each indentation with about 5 grams of fruit jam. 5. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. 6. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving

Serve the Thumbprint Cookies with a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness, if desired. Enjoy them with a cup of tea or coffee, or pack them as an edible gift for friends and family.
