Ingredients Needed To Make Lemon Thumbprint Cookies:

Directions on how to make lemon thumbprint cookies:
4. Place the sugar in a small bowl.
6. Place the coated cookie dough balls at least 3″ apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden and spread out.
8. While the cookies are still warm, use the backside of a 1/2 teaspoon measuring spoon to create small dimpled craters in the center of each cookie. You can call this the “raspberry cave.”
9. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before adding the raspberry jam.
10. After cooling for a bit, use a teaspoon and fill each indent with some raspberry jam.
These little beauties are ready to serve and eat! Add them to a pretty plate, and serve them with finger sandwiches, coffee, or tea! These are small cookies to help you with portion size (which can also make them dangerous that you’ll want to eat a dozen!). These are perfect to make for Mother’s day, a tea, a brunch, or even a cookie exchange!
Store the leftovers in an airtight container.
You can’t beat just how easy these cookies are to make, which will make this a go-to recipe that will encourage me to make them over and over again.
