What type of jam do you like to use for these?

Fabulous cookies! I have been baking cookies for 50+ years, so I know a good cookie recipe when I see one! These are not only delicious, but very pretty.  I used almond extract to replace vanilla, and refrigerated the dough for about 10 minutes to make it a little easier to handle.  My baking time was 11 minutes but I have a convection oven so that may make a difference.  LOVE THEM!!! Thank you

Love this recipe. My cookies come out perfectly every single time! I've made these using lemon curd, raspberry jam, cranberry-jalapeno jam (sounds EW I know, but OMG... SO GOOD), strawberry-guava jam (my FAVE, so far!), and strawberry-peach jam. I'm all set to take these to the next level by subbing the jam with a Hershey kiss center and a Reeses mini peanut butter cup center. Hope they turn out ok! I only wish I knew the right measurements to double this recipe so I'm not having to make multiple batches of dough... it is a rather small amount of dough!

I make my own jams, so today i will use strawberry, peach and triple crowns (combo of marionberry, blackberry and raspberries.  Yum Yum

These are a favorite at our house. My 10-year-old daughter makes them and we joke that after Thumbprints come out of the oven, fingerprints are the only thing left behind!

This year was the second year I’ve made these, excellent recipe. It just makes less than it says.

Hi just baked these with jam, can I freeze them with jam?

I wanted to love these cookies, but there are a  few issues. 
I used salted butter, so they are too salty. The recipe should specify unsalted butter. 
Fresh from the oven they were light and crisp, but overnight they became soft. Perhaps they should have not been put in a plastic container. 
The light texture was nice just as they cooled.
Beyond this, they were fine, but not a lot of flavor.

DO NOT MAKE THESE.. I couldn't find my thumbprint recipe and just googled one.. this was awful. The fat /sugar/flower ratio is way off.

Very delicious-my stepmom who doesn't like sweets, loved these.

Wow!!! I made these tonight and they were AWESOME!!  I made 2 batches, the first batch I used Crisco Butter Flavor (just because it was getting a little old and I wanted to get rid of it) The 2nd batch I used half crisco half spreadable butter and it did make a more “wetter” dough that I actually liked a lot better because the cookies came out softer and chewier vs. crunchier and crumblier when using just the Crisco alone. I used raspberry preserves and they were just perfect. This recipe was so easy, I had all the ingredients already in my pantry. I’ll be making these in bulk to give out in cookie bins for Christmas to my family and friends. Thank you for such an easy and wonderful recipe.

Ths came out good and very easy to make.  I will make this again.

Filled with jam, these buttery shortbread cookies are amazing.
