Photo: Jam Thumbprints Recipe
Ingredients
- 3/4 pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
- 7 ounces sweetened flaked coconut
- Raspberry and/or apricot jam
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until just combined, and then add the vanilla. Separately, sift together the flour and salt. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix until the dough starts to come together. Dump on a floured board and roll together into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
Roll the dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. (If you have a scale, they should each weigh 1-ounce.) Dip each ball into the egg wash and then roll it in coconut. Place the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet and press a light indentation into the top of each with your finger. Drop 1/4 teaspoon of jam into each indentation. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the coconut is a golden brown. Cool and serve.

I cannot believe how delicious these cookies are! Made 3 batches for a dessert bar: one with raspberry jam, one with blackberry jam, and one with Nutella. These cookies were the first dessert to disappear and several people requested the recipe. I found that baking them on the middle oven rack one pan at a time kept both the bottoms and the coconut from burning. It takes longer, but the cookies turned out perfectly.

It is really great when someone elses recipe makes you a hero. Excellent cookie. Just follow the recipe EXACTLY and you will have a superior cookie. Thre is a reason the woman has a tv program! If you cannot do it exactly, don't post a negative review. She has created a perfect recipe.
