Recipe for Thumbprint Cookie (Jelly Sugar Cookie)
Ingredients
1/2 cup slightly chilled butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup of dark brown sugar
(if you do not have light and dark brown sugar you can substitute will "brown sugar")
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 and 3/4 cups of all purpose flour
1 and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup white sugar (enough to roll dough balls in)

Procedure
To a mixing bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Stir to combine. In a separate large mixing bowl combine the butter, light brown sugar, dark brown sugar and vanilla with hand mixer.

In small portions and with a hand mixer combine the flour mixture to the sugar mixture. This will make a dry dough that crumbles easily. In small portions blend the water and flour/sugar mixture until the dough comes together.

With your hand remove enough dough to form a table tennis sized ball by rolling the dough in your hands. Roll the ball on a small plate containing white sugar until the dough ball is covered with sugar.

Place the sugar coated ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat this process until the baking sheet is filled with sugar coated balls.

With your thumb press down on the center of each ball until about 1/4 inches of dough remains below your thumb. Fill the thumb indent of each ball with your favorite jelly or jam. (we recommend homemade of course).

Bake the cookies at 350 °F for 20 minutes. For a crunchier cookie bake for an additional 4 minutes.

After baking, transfer the cookies to a cooling rack. Allow the cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes and enjoy.
