I'm trying not to eat sweets. My kids don't need more cookies at this time of year. My husband won't eat any non-chocolate dessert. And I knew my mother-in-law was about to arrive with a carload of goodies.
But when the urge strikes, how can you deny it? My Twitter friend @amy_i pointed me to a recipe for jam thumbprint cookies on her blog Playing House. Normally I make a shortbread dough for thumbprint cookies, but Amy's dough has cream cheese, eggs and leavening, and the final cookies are pretty soft. I filled them with homemade quince jam and fed them to some happy kids. I even snuck a few.

Mmmm those look AMAZING! I love how you used your homemade quince jam for the thumbprint cookies. I always make thumbprint cookies during Christmas but now I'm definitely trying out this recipe for the dough. And I'm going to get some quince jam! :)
ReplyDeleteErika, I'm so glad you made these and liked them! I imagine that they were divine with the quince jam. Isn't it funny how we both woke up with an inexplicable urge to make them?
ReplyDeleteI adore soft cookies...I typically do a shortbread type of cookie for the base of my thumbprints, but I love this cream cheese idea! I want to try these now! Thanks for sharing another great post with me. I hope you are having a week of family, friends and love!
ReplyDeleteI love thumbprint cookies, they're so much fun to make and always so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI so enjoy thumbprint cookies this time of year... and with the copious amounts of jam I have in my cabinet, I think I need to make some of these cookies!
ReplyDeleteMy friend at work was just talking about jam thumbprint cookies (pbj cookies) and then I stumble on these cookies. It's a sign.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you did not resist the urge - these are definitely my kind of cookie!! First, though, I am going to have to make some of that quince jam!!
ReplyDeleteI like your blog

Just came across these. I adore sweet potato biscuits and can't wait to give these ones a try. Thank you!
