Ingredients

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter 2 large baking sheets.

In a small bowl, combine the jam and Chambord. Stir to combine.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk to blend.

In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Beat in the egg yolks, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla. Add the flour mixture in 2 additions and beat just until moist clumps form. Gather the dough together into a ball.

Pinch off the dough to form 1-inch balls. Place on the prepared baking sheets, spacing 1-inch apart. Use your floured index finger or 1/2 teaspoon measuring spoon to create depressions in the center of each ball. Fill each indentation with nearly 1/2 teaspoon of the jam mixture. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

    This is my December, 2011 update. This recipe produces the loveliest, tenderest thumbprint EVER, hands down! The light lemon flavor combined with the Chambord/raspberry mixture is fabulous. I make two batches, refrigerate them, then bake them off throughout Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Make them NOW.

    These are the best Christmas cookies we made so far. I did however add a touch more lemon as I really like a good lemony flavor.

    I love these cookies!! I've made them on several occasions and with great results. The butter lemon cookie is so tender and buttery; with just the right amount of lemon flavor. Also, one time I substitued strawberry jam and it worked just as well. Try them!
