Cheesy Thumbprint Cookies with Green Tomato Strawberry Jalapeño Jam
Cheesy thumbprint cookies are a savory twist on the classic jam-filled sweet cookie, built on a simple three-ingredient cheddar dough and filled with sweet, spicy jam. The two-stage baking method keeps the indentation clean and the edges perfectly golden. One batch makes enough for a party platter and comes together in under an hour.
Servings: 3 cups
Ingredients
- 2 cups white cheddar cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons butter chilled and cut up
- ½ cup Green Tomato Strawberry Jalapeno Jam or your favorite jam
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Pulse cheddar cheese, flour, and butter in a food processor until dough is a coarse-meal texture and forms into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Shape dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place 1 inch apart on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 5 minutes in oven. Remove from oven; press thumb into top of each ball, creating an indentation.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of Green Tomato Strawberry Jalapeno Jam into indentation. Put back into oven and bake until edges are golden brown, approximately 5 minutes.
