How to Make Jammy Cream Cheese Thumbprint Cookies
- In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to blend softened cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate the granulated sugar into the mixture and continue mixing until well combined, about 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour at a low speed until just combined. Stop when no streaks of flour are visible.
- Wrap the cookie dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 45 minutes to 2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Press your thumb into the center of each to create a thumbprint, then fill with raspberry preserves.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 11-12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers appear slightly underbaked.
Notes
Optional: Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving for sweetness. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
