Thumbprint Cookies - the UNfail

I made these for a party this weekend. They were (of course) a hit. I used marionberry jam for the filling. Next time I think I will try with the peach/mango/orange jam from Costo.

First I mixed the dough.

Then I rolled little balls, and placed them on the cookie sheet.

I guess I should really call my cookies indexfingerprint cookies though, because I prefer smaller cookies, my thumb would have been too big.

Next I popped them into the 350°F oven for 9 minutes (less time for smaller cookies).

When the timer went off, I took them out, transferred them to a cooling rack, and added the filling.

**Tip: If you are using jam or jelly, pop it into the microwave for 25-30 seconds, it makes it easier to spoon/pipe, and it leaves a nice shiny finish.

They aren't quite as uniform as I (miss OCD) would have liked, but I'm calling that an UNfail!
