Making these thumbprint cookies
Making and forming these thumbprint cookies take a couple steps but it is nothing difficult. Firstly we will make the cookie dough by creaming the butter, powdered sugar, and egg yolk together. From there we add in the vanilla, flour, and cornstarch. Mix with a hand mixer and then use your hands to bring the dough together. Once dough is together form golf ball sized balls with the dough and place them on a parchment paper line cookie sheet. From there, lightly pat the balls flat and then press your thumb into the centre of the cookie. Now spoon in some of your favourite jam of jelly!

Cooling and storing
Like any cookie you bake, make sure you let the cookie sit on the baking sheet for 10 minutes after you remove it from the oven. This is a crucial step to help the bottom crispy up and it allows the cookie to get some structural integrity so it doesn’t just crumble apart when you pick it up.
