Method

  1. 1

    Cream the butter and sugar

    Beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

  2. 2

    Add the flour

    Fold in the flour gradually until a soft dough forms.

  3. 3

    Shape and indent

    Roll the dough into small balls, place on a lined tray, and press a thumbprint into the centre of each.

  4. 4

    Fill with jam

    Spoon a little mixed fruit jam into each indentation.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 12–15 minutes until the edges turn lightly golden.

  6. 6

    Cool and serve

    Cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Nitra tip

Chill the shaped, filled cookies for 10 minutes before baking if the dough feels soft — it helps them hold their shape in the oven.
