Pecan Thumbprint Jam Cookies

Scott Phillips

Yield:Yields about 4 dozen cookies.

这些树莓种果酱手指很容易love: They call for a few simple ingredients you’ve likely got on hand, they’re super-easy to make, they’re sweet and nutty, and they’re gorgeous on a cookie platter.

Ingredients

  • 14-1/4 oz. (3 cups plus 2 Tbs.) unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. table salt
  • 3/4 lb. (1-1/2 cups) unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
  • 6 oz. (1-1/2 cups) pecans, toasted and finely ground in a food processor
  • 3 oz. (1 cup) confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup red raspberry preserves with seeds

Preparation

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour and salt to blend. Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and pecans on medium speed until very soft and light, about 3 min. Beat in the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla until thoroughly combined, about 1 min. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula. With the mixer on low speed, slowly blend in the flour until totally incorporated, about 30 seconds.
  • Using your hands, roll the dough into 1- to 1-1/4-inch balls and set them about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Press your thumb into the middle of each dough ball to create a well for the preserves. Stir the preserves to loosen and then spoon about 1/2 tsp. into the middle of each dough ball. Bake until the cookies are golden brown, about 20 min. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 1 min. before transferring them to a rack to cool.
  • The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for three to four days.

Tip

For the best results, measure your flour by weight instead of volume. (1 cup of all-purpose flour equals 4-1/2 oz.) If you don’t have a scale, be sure touse the proper techniquewhen filling your measuring cups.

    Super nutty short cookie- not too sweet and perfectly balanced by the jam!! Try a tart apricot preserve with toasted pecan dough, or concord grape with toasted walnut dough! The recipe makes a lot, so plan to mix it up by using a variety of different jams and jellies.

    Made these with walnuts too when I ran out of pecans, 1/2 and 1/2.
    Light on flavour and too crumbly for my liking. I thought they might have the texture and weight of shortbread but alas, that was not to be!

    Made these because I was looking for a way to use up some excess jam in my fridge. The cookie itself is a little light on flavor, not super sweet, and would not be much if it didn't have the jam on top. Also a little too crumbly for my liking. Needs more butter or maybe regular sugar instead of confectioners. Overall, good but not great.
