Jam Thumbprints

[Primus203]

So I've been making jam thumbprints a couple of times now and I've only used berry jams. What kind of jams do you guys thing goes well with this kind of cookie I'm thinking apple or pear but some have told me those aren't great for it. I recently got some apricot preserves but got ill before I could bake.

Apricot preserves actually work wonderfully in jam thumbprints! They have a nice balance of sweet and tart that complements the buttery flavor of the cookies really well. Apple and pear jams can be a bit milder in flavor, so if you go that route, you might want to add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla to the jam to enhance the taste.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you could also try some less conventional flavors like peach, plum, or even a citrus marmalade. Each can add a unique twist to your cookies. Hope you feel better soon and happy baking when you do!
