Sometimes the simplest cookies are the best, and to me, jam thumbprint cookies are all about enjoying a simple buttery shortbread with the sweetness of a quality berry jam. These cookies are adapted from an Ina Garten recipe that my friend Jess introduced me to in college. Ina's recipe is slightly different, most notably in that the cookies are dipped in egg and coconut. Even though I like coconut, I've come to prefer the cookies without it.

Thumbprint cookies are a classic cookie recipe that is loved the world over. They're made by forming a sweet, vanilla-infused dough into a little ball, pressing a well into the center, and then filling the well with jam. The idea originated in Sweden, where these are called "Hallongrotta," which translates to "raspberry cave." The cookies taste very good but you need to make very deep thumbprints or you will not fit enough jelly in them. I also put the cookies back into the oven after I put the jelly in the center in order to set the jelly. I also by-passed the egg whites and dipped the cookies in powdered sugar (it seemed to stick better that way).
