Jam Thumbprints
What you need
- 200g butter
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 cups flour
- jam
Salt, pepper, water and oil don’t count. Mom always had those.
What you do
Make a soft dough from butter, sugar and flour. Roll balls, press a dent in each with your thumb, fill with jam, and bake fifteen minutes.
How it feels to make
Pressing your thumb into each one is the job you'll want and won't be allowed to rush.
Mom wrote on the back
Don't overfill the dents. Jam boils over and welds them to the tray.
